Question

Is this a complete sentence?
It rained the animals took shelter under the tree.

Answer 1

No, the given text "It rained the animals took shelter under the tree." is not a complete sentence. It appears to be missing punctuation and conjunctions to connect the two independent clauses.

A complete sentence should have a subject and a predicate and express a complete thought. In the given text, "It rained" can be considered an independent clause as it has a subject ("It") and a predicate ("rained"), but it doesn't form a complete sentence on its own. The second part, "the animals took shelter under the tree," is another independent clause, but it is not properly connected to the first part.

To make it a complete sentence, we can add a coordinating conjunction like "and" to join the two independent clauses, resulting in "It rained, and the animals took shelter under the tree."

This revised version is grammatically correct and expresses a complete thought.

Answer 2

No, the sentence "It rained the animals took shelter under the tree" is not a complete sentence. A complete sentence expresses a complete thought and has a subject and a verb. The sentence "It rained the animals took shelter under the tree" has two independent clauses, but they are not joined together correctly. The first clause, "It rained," does not have a subject. The second clause, "the animals took shelter under the tree," does have a subject and a verb, but it is not joined to the first clause in a way that makes sense.

Here are some ways to correct the sentence:

* It rained, and the animals took shelter under the tree.

* The animals took shelter under the tree when it rained.

* When it rained, the animals took shelter under the tree.

The correct sentence will have a subject and a verb in each clause, and the clauses will be joined together in a way that makes sense.
