Is this a complete sentence?

There wasn't much of anything about it that made me go "Wow".

If this is a complete sentence, where is the subject??

Thanks,

QP

Hellooo There isn't a subject as such in that sentence, as it is a sentence that would have depended on the sentence before it. " and you answered There wasn't much of anything about it that made me go "Wow". The subject here is "it" relating to the concert.

The subject would be "it" if I said "how was the concert?" and you answered

There wasn't much of anything about it that made me go "Wow".

The subject here is "it" relating to the concert.

However...

Even though the sentence does not expressly state a subject it is neverless a complete sentence? Or is it a complete sentence because we are using the subject from a prior sentence?

Is this proper: "I hate the concert. There isn't much about it that made me go wow." Would that constitute two complete sentences?

Except that it doesn't make sense to use present tense "hate" with a concert in the past.

Would this be proper: "I hated the concert. There isn't much about it that made me go wow."

Is the second sentence complete?

If all are in the present tense, you could be saying this at intermission: I hate it. There isn't much that makes me go "Wow!"

If the concert was last night (or earlier): I hated it. There wasn't much that made me say "Wow!"

Nitrous696Would this be proper: "I hated the concert. There wasn't much about it that made me go "Wow."

Is the second sentence complete?
Yes, and I don't see why you couldn't call 'much' the subject. In sentences that begin with There is/are/was/were/etc, the word 'there' is not the subject. The subject follows the verb 'be'.
