Unit 1Sentence Completeness Goals 1. Learn the parts of a sentence. 2. Be able to write complete sentences. Most written work is made up of sentences. A sentence is a grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed. If you want to write well, you should learn to write correct sentences. In this unit, your task is to learn the parts of sentences and to write complete sentences. About the parts of a sentence, please remember the following tips: 1.

Both the clause and the phrase are MODIFIERS (a word, phrase, or clause that limits or qualifies the sense of another word or word group.). Sample 1 SUBJECT PREDICATE The dogs bark. The black dogs bark loudly. The dogs on the street bark all night. The dog led by its master barked at the girl. The dog that has sharp teeth barked at the child.
