A sentence should have a subject and a predicate : the subject relates, performs, or perceives the action (or status) indicated by the predicate. Normally the subject is a noun, pronoun, or gerund. Normally the predicate contains a verb. The sentence may also have an object which receives the action by the subject. In written or spoken imperatives, the subject is usually understood to be a person, and the predicate may be an assumed form of the verb "be". Examples : * The man / fell. (subject/predicate) * The dog/ is sick. (subject/ predicate adjective as modifier) * He/ is a boy. (pronoun subject/predicate with nominal or identity) * The man / hit the dog. (subject/ predicate with object) * Running/ gives / me / a headache. (gerund subject/predicate with indirect and direct objects) Imperative (in exclamations) : * "Go to work." (you is the subject, "go to work" is the imperative predicate) * "Run!" (you is the subject, run is the imperative predicate) * "Fools!" ("you" or "they" is the subject, "are" the verb predicate, "fools" the predicate adjective or attribute )

What is having an incomplete grammatical construction?
An incomplete grammatical construction is a series of words, phrases, or clauses that do not constitute a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and does not contain an introductory adverb, pronoun, or other word that makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense. Some examples: Complete sentence: John hit me. Incomplete sentence: when John hit me...[This depends on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: When John hit me, I hit him back. Complete sentence: Who is good? [The fact that it's a question makes it complete.] Incomplete sentence: who is good [The fact that it's not a question makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: A boy who is good will not go to the principle's office every so often. Other incomplete sentences: at at the bank feeling confused at the bank who is feeling confused at the bank because I was feeling confused at the bank Complete sentence: I left because I was feeling confused at the bank.

If you are asking whether the words "Is this a question" make a complete sentence, yes-- but not a declarative sentence. They make a question, and they need a question mark at the end.
