Learning to write in complete sentences is a necessary skill. In order to fully understand the construction of a complete sentence, you need to define what a sentence actually is. As any English teacher will tell you, a complete sentence has at least one main clause, or subject-verb pair.
A complete sentence must have, at minimum, three things: a subject, verb, and an object. The subject is typically a noun or a pronoun. And, if there’s a subject, there’s bound to be a verb because all verbs need a subject. Finally, the object of a sentence is the thing that’s being acted upon by the subject.
