Sentence Types
- A verbal sentence is a sentence that contains a verb that shows an action, whereas a nominal sentence is a sentence that does not contain a verb that shows an action.
- Verbal sentences contain a main verb that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being.
Nominal Sentences

- The subject in a nominal sentence does not perform an action, but rather is described or identified.
