They walked is that a complete sentence?

No, "They walked" is not a complete sentence. It is a sentence fragment.

Here's why:

* Subject: The sentence has a subject ("They").

* Verb: The sentence has a verb ("walked").

* Incomplete Thought: However, it lacks a complete thought. We don't know *where* they walked, *what* they walked to, or *why* they walked.

To make it a complete sentence, you need to add more information:

* They walked to the store.

* They walked quickly.

* They walked for hours.
