What is a Sentence??

A Sentence is a combination of words which give a complete meaning. There are various types of sentences depending on their structure and function.

Sentence is a set of words that contain

1. Subject

2. Predicate

Note that the predicate always contains a verb. Sometimes, in fact, the predicate is only a verb.

So we can say that a sentence must contain at least a subject and verb.

Note: A sentence always begin with a capital letter and ends with either full stop (.) or exclamation (!) or question mark(?).

Let's check the following examples:

1. The snake moves and hide behind the bushes.

2. What a delicious food!

3. Have you paid the school fees?
