 What I Have Learned

A sentence is a word or group of words that has a

complete thought. It starts with a capital letter and ends
with a period or question mark.

A non-sentence is a word or group of words that have

an incomplete thought and has no punctuation mark.

A telling sentence begins with a capital letter and

ends with a period (.). It tells about colors, sizes, shapes,

numbers, and others.

An asking sentence begins with a capital letter and

ends with a question mark (?). It usually begins with WH-

question words. Some asking sentences are answerable by

yes or no.
