Simple Sentences

A simple sentence is a sentence that contains a subject and a predicate, expressing a complete thought.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is.

The subject is 'The dog'.

The predicate is 'sleeps on the mat'.

A complete sentence must have at least a subject and a predicate and express a complete thought.

'The sun shines.' is a complete sentence.

A fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought and is not a complete sentence.

A sentence is incomplete if it lacks a subject, a predicate, or does not express a complete thought.

A complete sentence typically ends with a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!).
