Children learn that a complete sentence needs a "who or what" (the subject) and a "what happens" (the verb), and that it makes sense on its own. They pick complete sentences from fragments, find the two parts, unscramble words into sentences, and write their own. Understanding what makes a sentence complete is the foundation for all later work on sentence structure.
