 A sentence is a group of words in the correct order that makes sense.

 Letters form words and words make the sentences.
 A sentence always begins with capital letter and mostly ends with a full stop.
 Sentence always has two parts- Naming and Doing.
 Naming part tells about people, places, animals and things which are also called Noun.
 Doing part tells what a person, an animal or thing does, which is also called Verb.
 Naming part is called the subject of the sentence.
 Doing part is called the predicate of the sentence. The subject tells you who or what the
sentence is about.
 The rest of the sentence including verb is called Predicate.

 The subject and verb in a sentence must match even when the tense of the verb
changes.
 A singular subject must have singular verb.
Example: I am a good student. , Singular subject => singular verb
 A plural subject must have plural verb. Plural subject => plural verbs
Example: We are good students.
