Complete Sentences

A complete sentence in English is a sentence that expresses a complete thought or a complete statement. It must have a subject (the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject does, is doing, or has done to it). A complete sentence can be simple or complex, depending on the number of clauses it contains. 

Here are examples of different kinds of complete sentences: 

1. Simple sentence:

"The cat is sleeping."

This sentence contains a subject ("the cat") and a predicate ("is sleeping") and can stand alone as a complete statement.

2. Compound sentence:

"The cat is sleeping, and the dog is barking."

This sentence contains two independent clauses ("The cat is sleeping" and "The dog is barking") joined by a coordinating conjunction "and" and a comma.

3. Complex sentence:

"Although the cat is sleeping, the dog is barking."

This sentence contains a dependent clause ("Although the cat is sleeping") and an independent clause ("the dog is barking") joined by a subordinating conjunction "although." 

The Takeaway

To sum it up, a complete sentence in English has a subject and a predicate and is a complete statement. It can be simple, compound, or complex, depending on the number of clauses it contains.
