Step-by-step explanation:

A complete sentence is one that completes a thought or expression. In other words, a complete sentence is one that can be taken as a full sentence and needs no addition to it to be completed.

A phrase or dependent clause is one that is incomplete and cannot be taken as a complete sentence. Moreover, it is dependent on other clauses to complete a thought.
