Complete and Incomplete Sentences

• Look at the sentences and mark the difference. 
• He a boy. 
• Why crying? 

• Why shy? 
• It is a yacht. 
• This is a park. 
• The first 3 sentences do not show complete meaning. 
• The last 2 sentences give the complete meaning. 

Complete Sentence: 

• A complete sentence is a group of words that tells complete thought or idea. 
• It begins with capital letter and ends with punctuation marks like ‘full stop’ and ‘question mark.’ 
• A complete sentence answers the questions of ‘who’ and ‘what.’ 

• Examples: 
• The cat chased his tail. 

• The dog ran away. 
• The baby is crying. 

Incomplete Sentence: 

• Ask the students, “Do you know what incomplete sentence is?” 
• An incomplete sentence indicates an incomplete thought/meaning. 

• Incomplete sentence doesn’t answer ‘who’ & ‘what’. 
• Refer to slide no. 21 & 22. 

• Examples: 

• Won football game. 
• Many long days. 
• At the pool? 
• This is how we can differentiate complete and incomplete sentences by looking at their formation.
