CHAPTER 4 Writing Effective Sentences Lesson 1: Simple Sentences Key Ideas Make sure each sentence has a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. If a sentence doesn’t express a complete thought, you may need to add a subject, verb, or other words. Use correct end punctuation. A complete simple sentence has at least one subject and one verb. The subject is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is talking about. The subject performs an action or is described. The verb is the word that tells what action the subject is doing or links the subject to a modifier.
