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.
