Definition of a Complete Sentence

A complete sentence must have a subject and
predicate and express a complete idea.
You can write a complete sentence with just two
words in it: 1) a verb that expresses an action or a
state of being, and 2) a noun that performs the
action.

EXAMPLE:
Eagles swooped.
What is the action? swooped
swooped is the predicate.
What performs the action? Eagles
Eagles is the subject.

A subject and predicate may not always appear together or in the normal order
