📝 Is it a Complete Sentence or a Fragment? 🌈✨

What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense and tells a complete thought.

• ✅ Example: The cat is sleeping. 🐱💤
• ❌ Fragment: Sleeping on the bed. ❌ (It doesn’t tell the whole idea!)

Parts of a Complete Sentence

A complete sentence must have:

1. Subject 🧑 (Who or what the sentence is about)
2. Predicate 🏃 (What the subject does or is)

Example:

• The dog 🐶 (subject) runs fast. 💨 (predicate) ✅

What is a Fragment?

A fragment is an incomplete sentence. It is missing a subject, a predicate, or a complete idea.

• ❌ Example: In the garden. 🌷 (We don’t know what happened in the garden!)
• ❌ Example: Eating a sandwich. 🥪 (Who is eating?)

Tips to Spot a Fragment 🔍

• Ask yourself: “Does it make complete sense?” 🤔
• Look for both who/what (subject) and action/description (predicate).
• If it doesn’t answer a full thought, it’s a fragment. 🚫

Fun Trick! 🎉

• Complete sentence = 🎯 complete thought
• Fragment = 🧩 missing a piece
