How to use "Incomplete" in context?
Incomplete is a feeling that we all experience at one time or another. It's that nagging feeling that something is missing, but we don't know what it is. It can be frustrating because we can't seem to put our finger on what it is that's keeping us from completing something.
There are many possible reasons why something might be incomplete. Maybe we don't have all the information we need to finish it. Maybe we don't have the time or energy to finish it. Maybe we don't have the equipment we need to finish it.
