One of the best ways to learn to write is to work with preset fill in activities. To do this correctly requires you to diagnose a sentence, look at grammar, the language mechanics, and ask yourself what is missing. This is no small task to complete. You will need to make sure that the sentence has flow and stamina to stay with the remainder of the passage. This is a huge skill in the upper levels of education.

How to Make Sure a Sentence is Complete


A sentence is the combination of words that are put together in a line to make a complete meaning. The main characteristic of a sentence is to convey an understandable meaning through the use of language. This is the primary goal of any written text, but you should aim to finish in terms of their meaning, punctuation, and grammar. The main task is to produce a proper sentence that contains all characteristics of being a sentence. A complete sentence should have the following characteristics.


Should Have a Main Clause


The first feature of a complete clause is the presence of the main clause. The main clause is composed of a group of words that has an independent verb and an independent subject. The presence of a subject and verb is important to convey the complete idea of what is being written or said e.g. “I am not sure if I can drive to your home or not” now in this sentence if we remove the subject “I” or verb “drive” then this sentence will not make any sense and it will be incomplete.


Presence of a Punctuation Mark at The End


A sentence always ends with one of these three marks, a full stop, an exclamation mark or an exclamatory mark. Usually, the presence of a full stop, in the end, is the sign that indicates that the sentence is complete but a question is also a sentence so, in that case, it can end with a question mark e.g. “Am I going to attend this party?”


Beginning with a Capital Letter


We have learned it in primary class that a sentence always begins with a capital letter. It makes no difference with which word the sentence is starting, the important thing is that the first letter of the word should be capital e.g. “John is going on a trip”.
