Lesson 1: Sentences

Read the following.

Your is what name. These two groups of words don’t make
Live in I Kathmandu. sense.
These words are not properly arranged.
So, they are not sentences.

Now compare the two sentences above with the below sentences:

What is your name? Both of these groups of words are meaningful.
I live in Kathmandu. These words are in a proper order.
So, they are sentences.

A Sentence is a group of words which makes complete sense as a
whole. A sentence has a subject and a predicate.
For example: Diya ran very fast to win the race.
Subject = Diya
Predicate = ran very fast to win the race

The subject of a sentence is a person, thing or place the sentence tells
about.
For example: Rohini phoned me two hours ago.
Subject = ‘Rohini’

The predicate of a sentence is that part of a sentence which has a verb.
It also provides information about the subject.
For example: Children play soccer in the playground. (predicate)

All sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop (.),
question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!).
