sentence and NS if it is a NON-SENTENCE.

that tells a complete idea.
A complete sentence answers these questions:
What/Who? And What is it doing?

57. Example of a Complete Sentence
The dog ate his bone.
• What/Who? The dog
• What did he do? Ate his bone
We can answer our two questions:
Who? And what did he do? So, this is a
complete sentence!

58. Example of an Incomplete Sentence
The big hairy spider.
• What/Who? The big hairy spider
• What did it do? We don’t know! This is not a
complete sentence.
• TIP: Just because a group of words begins with a
capital and ends with a period doesn’t mean it is a
complete sentence!

59. The bird flew back to the nest.
• What/Who? The bird
• What did it do? Flew back to the nest
This is a complete SENTENCE.
Complete or Incomplete?

60. The basket of food
• What/Who? The basket of food
• What is it doing? We don’t know!
This is not a complete sentence.
Complete or Incomplete?

61. Remember!
• A sentence fragment is a group of words that doesn’t state a
complete thought.
• Sometimes, a fragment is missing a subject, and sometimes a
verb.
• Other times, a fragment has a subject and a verb, but the
thought still isn’t complete.
