The balance includes both the fees for service and the shipping charges. Is this sentence incomplete or complete?
Fed [463]

The answer is: complete sentence.

 This is an independent sentence, which means it is a group of words that that has a complete thought. It has a subject and a verb and it can stand on its own. <em>Subject</em>: The balance. <em>Verb</em>: includes. <em>Complement:</em> both the fees for service and the shipping charges. A phrase that has a subject and a verb but doesn't have a complete thought is a <em>dependent clause, and it can't stand on its own.</em>
