GRAMMAR: SENTENCES

 SENTENCES

A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense by itself. It begins with a capital letter. It ends with a full stop (.) an exclamation mark (!) or a question mark (?)

Examples :John works hard.

             I like to read books.

PARTS OF SENTENCE

Every sentence has two parts namely a Subject and a Predicate.

SUBJECT AND PREDICATE

The subject is the first part of a sentence that tells what a sentence is about.

The subject is always a noun or a pronoun or a group of words that does the work of a noun.

Example :The old place is considered haunted.

The predicate is second part of a sentence that says something about the subject.

The predicate may consist of one word or several words with the essential word being a verb.

Example : My dress is beautiful.

(The verb is the essential word in the predicate.)
