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.

Do inflections add grammatical meaning?

No, but they can help when the grammar is incomplete or not strictly correct. For example, the correct grammatical interrogative form is "Are you going out?" But you can convey the same meaning if you say "You are going out" with your tone rising at the end of the sentence.
