Sentence fragment - an incomplete sentence that is punctuated as though it were complete.A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought.It has two basic parts:* a subject (names who or what the sentence is about) * and a predicate (says something about the subject)
A subject and a verb [action]
When the complete subject comes in between two parts of the complete verb!
The two parts of a complete sentence are the subject and predicate. The subject contains a noun, the predicate a verb. "My dog died." Subject = My dog Predicate = died
It is impossible to form a sentence without a complete subject and a complete predicate. Those are the two required constituent parts of any sentence. The subject is the simple subject and any of its associated parts, such as adjectives, and the predicate is the verb and any of its associated parts, such as adverbs and predicate objects. The shortest possible sentence in the English language is, "I am." The subject is "I" and the predicate is "am."
The subject, which is the person or thing performing the action, and the predicate, which contains the verb and provides information about the subject.
The two basic part of a sentence are the subject and verb (predicate).
The main rule is that the subject and predicate must agree in number. If the subject is singular, the predicate should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the predicate should be plural as well. Additionally, the subject and predicate must agree in person - if the subject is in first person, the predicate should also be in first person, and so on.
The meaning of a semicolon is to separate TWO complete thoughts..... " . . . a punctuation mark used to separate two parts of a compound sentence when they are not connected by a conjunction."
the two parts of the sentence is the subject and predicate
Parallel form is when two parts of a compound sentence use the same basic word structure. For example: I went to the store; I bought milk. This is a compound sentence - note the use of the semicolon indicating two separate and complete statements. Both use a simple structure: first person subject, past-tense verb, simple object of the verb.
A complete sentence must have a subject (noun) and a predicate (verb). For example, "The bird flies in the sky." "The bird" is the subject of the sentence (bird is a noun) and "flies in the sky" is the predicate (flies is the verb). This is a complete sentence. "The mailman" is NOT a complete sentence because there is no predicate (I didn't tell you what the mailman did). Ask yourself "Who?" and "Did what?" and if you're able to answer both questions then you probably have a subject and a predicate, and therefore, a complete sentence.
