    Sentence Definition

    • A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought.
    • Sentences tell, ask, command, or express strong feelings.
    • The first letter of a sentence is always capitalized.
    • Every sentence ends with a punctuation mark (period, question mark, or exclamation point).

    Identifying Sentences

    • To determine if a group of words is a sentence, ask:
      • Does it contain a subject and a predicate?
      • Does it make sense independently?
      • Do you naturally pause after the words when reading them?

    Sentence Parts

    • Sentences have two main parts: the subject and the predicate.
    • The simple subject tells what the sentence is about and can be a noun or pronoun.
    • The simple predicate tells what the subject is or does and is always a verb.
    • The complete subject includes the simple subject and any words that describe it.
    • The complete predicate includes the simple predicate and any words that modify or extend it.

    Sentence Fragments

    • A sentence fragment is missing either the subject or the main verb.
    • It doesn't express a complete thought.
