In the last Related Lesson in this series on sentences, you learned that all sentences must be complete.

(If you did not yet complete this lesson, find it in the right-hand sidebar.)

"The boy" is not a complete sentence, and "sits in a chair" is not a complete sentence. If you put those two parts together, though, it makes a complete thought.

"The boy sits in a chair."

  • Do you know what those two sentence parts are called?

You know that a sentence needs to make sense to be complete, but it also needs four parts.

  1. It needs to start with a capital letter.
  2. It needs a subject.
  3. It needs a verb
  4. It needs to end with punctuation.
