Introduction

Sentence is the main part of any language. In English grammar the sentence is the one of the most important part to study. It has its own structure and some rules have to be followed while writing the sentence.

 

What is a sentence?

For me sentence is like the country of the world.

See, the world is made of so many countries and islands. These countries are equipped with many states and the states are formed by many cities.

In the same way if we consider the language is the world then the sentences are the country and islands. The words are the states of the country. The letters are the cities of the states. Thus the sentences are the fundamental factor of the language.

Definition with explanation:

Now let’s come to the point of sentences.

 

In general we can say that sentence is a group of words. Now look below;

A ball girl the with playing ball.

Now the above sentence is also a group of words but we can’t say it is a sentence because the above sentence doesn’t have any proper meaning.

 Sentence is the grammatically complete series of words.

 Means as we refer land of language it is called Syntax.

Syntax means the set of rule that govern how words are combined to form a phrase and sentence.

 

 Do you know what is story?

Yes …. It's an incident written in a sequel. While writing a story we have to write some sentences in a correct order. 

Story mainly consists of some paragraphs. And paragraph includes many sentences. Sentences mean many words together. Now look at the following sentence.. 

1. "Kitchen Tina in cooking is the".

2. Tina is cooking in the kitchen.

Which of these sentences is correct sentence?

Yes, 2nd sentence is correct. Though, the first sentence is a group of words it doesn't have any meaning. 

Conclusion is that ....."Sentence is a group of meaningful words that expresses a complete thought."

Only meaningful words are not enough we have to take care of following things while writing the sentence.

Rules

1. Always start a sentence with capital letter.

First letter of any sentence should be capital. If the sentence starts with common noun also it should be capitalized.

For example

Birds fly in the sky.

In the above sentence the word ‘birds’ is the common noun but as it is the first letter of the sentence its first letter is capitalized.

 2. Write the word in correct order.

Order of the words should be correct then only the sentence carries correct meaning.

For example

1. King magician the called.

2. The king called magician.

The sentence 1 is a group of words but there is no meaning as the words are not in a proper order. On the contrary the sentence 2 has same words but they are in proper order so we can consider sentence 2 as a correct sentence.

3. Place the punctuation marks properly.

 According to the type of sentence place the punctuation marks...such as question mark for question, exclamation for exclamatory sentence, full stop for declarative sentence. 

4. Main point is to spell the words properly to get proper meaning.

If one spells the words wrong then the meaning of the word can be change or it can be meaningless.

For example

Shopkeeper sells the caps in low price.

Now we write the above sentence in the following manner

Shopkeeper sails the caps in low prize.

Then there won’t be any proper meaning for this sentence so be careful while writing the spellings.

 

Thus sentence is the fundamental component of the language. Then language may English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Italian or anyone. The various novels, dramas, movies are written in any language that is with the help of sentences only. 

For me sentence is like the country of our world.

See the world is made of so many countries and island. These countries are equipped with many states and the states are formed by many cities.

In the same way if we consider the language is the world then the sentences are the country or islands. The words are the states of the country. The letters are the cities of the states. Thus the sentences are the fundamental factor of the language.

If you follow these rules you never fail in writing the proper sentence.
