Hello

hi i would like to know what is an incomplete thought in english related terms at school?!?!?!
  

Top answer

Usually "incomplete thought" means "incomplete sentence". And that usually means a missing finite verb or a missing required object or, sometimes, a missing subject. Missing finite verb: Getting weak because of her long illness.
