COMPLETE SENTENCES
A complete sentence has at least one subject and at least one verb.
The subject and verb work together to make one complete thought.
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that a sentence is about. A subject can be a noun or a pronoun.

Nouns — baker, school, apple
Pronouns — he, they, it
A verb tells what a subject is doing or being in a sentence. It can also be called the "predicate."

Action — run, swim, sleep
Being — am, is, was, were
A sentence needs both a subject and a verb to be complete.
