Definition of a Complete Sentence

A complete sentence must have a subject and
predicate and express a complete idea.
When the predicate is in the form of an order
(imperative), the subject, "you," may be implied
but not written.
EXAMPLE:
Do your homework!
What is the action? Do
Do is the predicate in the form of an order.
Who performs the action? You: (you) Do your homework!
You is the subject.
Choose the complete sentence(s).
A) Take it easy.
B) Try harder.
C) Harder!

A) Take it easy.

B) Try harder.

Both of these sentences are complete sentences because they have a subject (implied "you") and a predicate (the action being performed), and they express a complete idea. The third sentence, "Harder!" is not a complete sentence because it is missing a subject and does not express a complete idea on its own.
