What is a incomplete sentence?
A COMPLETE SENTENCE:1. HAS A SUBJECT2. HAS A VERB3. MAKES COMPLETE SENSE4. CAPITAL LETTER AT THE BEGINING5. AND PUNCTUATION .AnswerComplete sentences have (at least) a noun and a verb. Teachers often ask for "complete" sentences when you are answering questions. This makes it easier on them, because they don't have to have the question list in front of them to understand your answers. For instance, if the teacher asked "What was Shakespeare's first name, and when was he born?" and your answer was "William, 1564," then you would have an INCOMPLETE sentence. There is no verb in that answer. So, you would have to mimic the question, like this: Shakespeare's first name was William, and he was born in 1564.Or, you could answer in a complete sentence like this:William Shakespeare was born in 1564.Either way, make sure you have a noun and a verb in your sentence. "Bob walked" can be a sentence all by itself... just include who is doing something, and what they are doing.AnswerA sentence is a related group of words containing a subject and a predicate and expressing a complete thought. Some authorities add the requirement that the first letter of the sentence must be capitalized and the sentence must end with a full stop (period, question mark, or exclamation point). Anything less than this is not a complete sentence.
