Grammar Guide: Writing Complete Sentences (with Video)

Updated on

Are you wondering about what makes a sentence "complete?" This video serves as a basic grammar foundation, and is perfect for ESOL students, or students who have been away from writing for sometime. Watch here and see if you need a brush-up!

*Edit: At 1:30, the speaker mentions that "after" is a preposition, and it is! In the example he gives, however, he is using it as a subordination conjunction, like "because." Words with these jobs ALSO provide conditions, however, so his explanation of the why the clause is dependent remains accurate. For more on Parts of Speech, click here.
