Is the sentence,"So there you have it." a proper sentence or a fragment?

Question

anonymous · Answer

i believe its a fragment. What is being given? To who?

jagatuba · Answer

It is a complete sentence and to @Anonymous1321  "So there refers to something that has already been given, "it" is what was given, and it was given to "you". "You have it" is a complete sentence. However, the phrase "So there you have it," is a colloquialism, so don't use it in an essay if that is what you are considering.

That's quite alright @Anonymous1321 

That's the great thing about OpenStudy. There are all sorts of people here with different levels of education. Sometimes we don't get something just right and someone else will come along and make an adjustment and we all learn something. This happens to once in a while in Math group. While I don't suck at math, some of these guys on here are absolute whizzes and I've been corrected more than once on some complicated problems.

So no need to apologize thanks for taking the time to answer with what you thought. It's better to say something than to leave the user hanging. And writing group always needs people in it. Too many questions go unanswered here.
