There are only two members that belong to The Completion Team (A.K.A. parts of a sentence), and they are The Subject and The Predicate.
With only two members, The Complete Sentence Super-Team is the smallest of all the super-teams, but just because they don’t have as many team members as the other bigger groups, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have a big and important part to play in keeping your sentences strong and correct. In fact, these two wholesome heroes may very well have one of the most important grammar jobs of all: making complete sentences.
Well, think about it this way: If you were a super crime-fighter, would you go into battle with only half of your body armor?
No, you wouldn’t—because you’d get clobbered if you did that!
Well, it’s the exact same thing with sentences: They need both sides of their armor, the Subject and the Predicate, in order to be complete. And if sentences don’t have their complete armor, they’ll get completely clobbered by the grammar mistakes. But once a sentence is fully complete, that sentence is ready to test its super protective armor against any grammar mistake that dares to attack it, because a complete sentence is a strong sentence.
So, citizen, it's time for you to join forces with the Completion Team and learn all about their superpowers. And after that, your super protective sentence armor will be complete!

SUPER POWERS:
The Subject and The Predicate are members of the Completion Team (A.K.A. parts of a sentence), and they have the power to form strong and complete sentences.
THE COMPLETE SENTENCE SUPER-TEAM MEMBERS:
- The Subject: the someone or something the sentence is about.
- The Predicate: tells (verbalizes) something about the subject.
The hero rescued the crowd.
Is this a complete sentence? Let's check.
First, find the subject (ask: who or what is the sentence about?).
Next, find the predicate (ask: what is the sentence telling about the subject?).
Now, put the subject and the predicate together, and ...
Yes, this is a complete sentence.
