Great, thank you!:)

To determine whether the phrase "You closed your eyes when you made the wish" is a sentence or a clause fragment, we need to consider its structure and meaning.

A sentence is a grammatical unit that contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. It can stand alone as a complete statement.

On the other hand, a clause fragment is a group of words that lacks either a subject or a predicate, making it incomplete and dependent on additional information to form a complete thought.

Analyzing the given phrase, we can identify a subject ("You") and a predicate ("closed your eyes when you made the wish"). It expresses a complete thought and can stand independently, making it a sentence.

Therefore, "You closed your eyes when you made the wish" is indeed a sentence.
