Is it a complete sentence or a fragment?

key notes :

What is a Complete Sentence? ✅

A complete sentence tells a whole idea. It has:

  • A subject (who or what the sentence is about) 👦🐶
  • A predicate (what the subject does) 🏃‍♀️🍎

💡 Example:

  • The dog runs. 🐶🏃
  • I like ice cream. 🍦😊
What is a Sentence Fragment? ❌

A fragment is not a complete sentence. It is missing a subject or a predicate, so it does not make sense on its own. 😕

💡 Example:

  • Runs fast. ❌ (Who runs fast?)
  • In the garden. ❌ (What about the garden?)
How to Tell the Difference 🔍
  • Ask: “Does it tell a complete thought?” 💭
  • If yes → ✅ Complete sentence
  • If no → ❌ Fragment
Fun Tips for Grade 1 🌈
  • Every sentence starts with a capital letter ✨
  • Every sentence ends with a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!) 🔹
  • Sentences should make sense alone 🧩
