What Is a Sentence?
A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. For
example:
Joe likes basketball.
The weather is cold today.
Words can go together to make sentences. Sentences can go together to
make a paragraph. Finally, paragraphs can be combined into an essay. In this
book, you will study sentences and sentences in paragraphs.

Parts of a Sentence: Subjects, Verbs, and Objects
In this unit, you will learn about a sentence pattern that we call a simple
sentence. In English, every sentence has two main parts: the subject and the
verb. Sometimes there is an object and/or other information after the verb.

Unit 1 p. 6
Subject
The subject is the person or thing that does the action. The subject:
• can be a noun or a pronoun
• can be two (or more) nouns / pronouns. However, the nouns / pronouns
must share the same verb(s).
Maria and her sister go to piano class every week.

Verb
The verb tells what the subject is doing. The verb:
• is usually an action word, such as go, speak, write, swim, and watch
• sometimes does not have much action, such as be (am, is, are, was, were),
like, want, and need
• can have two (or more) actions for one subject.
They create and play beautiful music.

Object
The object is the thing or person after the main verb. The object:
• receives the action of the verb
• can be a noun or a pronoun
• can be two (or more) nouns / pronouns
Maria’s brother plays guitar and violin.

Other Information
Sentences can contain other information after the verb and the object, such
as time words / phrases or place phrases. When a sentence has a time word /
phrase and a place phrase, the time word / phrase usually comes last.

A Fragment—An Incomplete Sentence
Every sentence must have a subject and a verb. A sentence without a
subject or without a verb is called a fragment. A fragment is a piece of a
sentence. It is not a complete sentence.

In writing, a fragment is a serious mistake. When you write, check each

sentence to make sure that there is a subject and a verb.
