Identifying a Sentence as Complete or Incomplete Part 2

A group of words that makes complete sense is called a sentence. A complete sentence expresses a complete thought.
 

Every complete sentence has two parts: a subject and a predicate.
 

The subject is what or who the sentence is about.
 

Sandra draws a picture.
 

Here, Sandra is the subject. The sentence is about what she is doing, which is “drawing.”
 

The predicate is what is being said about the subject. In other words, it describes what is happening.
 

Sandra draws a picture.
 

Here, draws a picture is the predicate. That is what is happening in the sentence.
