A complete thought does have a verb; but having a verb does not make a group of words a complete thought. A complete thought must have at least one verb, but a complete thought can also have several verbs.An incomplete though that does have a verb is called a clause.A group of words becomes a sentence when it is a complete thought. Some examples:The cookies that Mary made were passed out to the class. (The dependent clause 'that Mary made' has a subject and a verb, but it is an incomplete thought.)I watched TV while Mary washed the dishes, packed the lunches, and made some coffee. (There are four verbs in the sentence, but the sentence is a single complete thought.)
