Sentence- A group of meaningful words, or which can be understood in correct manner.
Sentence contains two parts-
1. Subject ( About which we write or on which the whole sentence is all about)
2. Predicate ( Activity of subject, Or the rest part except subject is called Predicate)
Rahul is playing cricket.
In this the word 'Rahul' is subject and rest part is predicate.
All the boys have completed their homework.
In this the word 'all the boys' is subject and the rest part is predicate.
Now to lengthen the sentence we have to divide the sentence's parts .
Subject is further divided in two parts-
(a) Main word (on which the whole sentence is dependent or the sentence works according to this word)
(b) Qualifier ( which shows an additional information of main word and is equivalent to the main word most of the times)
Rahul, a famous player is playing cricket .
Here as we know Rahul is the main word and a famous player is qualifier which qualifies the main word and completes it and the rest part is qualifier.
All the boys of the class have completed the work.
Here the main word is 'all the boys' and it is qualified by 'of the class' so it exists as qualifier here.
Now we will divide predicate into parts;
Predicate is divided into three parts
(c) Verb ( which shows action like play, eat, sleep, drink etc.)
(d) Object ( on which the action is performed, on which the action is transferred)
(e) Complement ( which completes the sentence as manner, place, time)
Rahul, a famous player is playing cricket beautifully in the ground at this time.
In this sentence 'playing' is verb, cricket is object, beautifully is manner, in the ground is place, at this time is time.
All the boys of this class have completed their work sincerely just now.
Here the word 'all the boys' is subject, 'of this class' is qualifier and 'have completed' is verb, 'their work' is object and the rest part is compliment.
Subject: A person, animal, place, thing, or concept that does an action. Determine the subject in a sentence by asking the question “Who or what?”
I like spaghetti.
He reads many books.
Verb: Expresses what the person, animal, place, thing, or concept does. Determine the verb in a sentence by asking the question “What was the action or what happened?”
The movie is good. (The be verb is also sometimes referred to as a copula or a linking verb. It links the subject, in this case the movie, to the complement or the predicate of the sentence, in this case, good.)
Object: A person, animal, place, thing, or concept that receives the action. Determine the object in a sentence by asking the question “The subject did what?” or “To whom?/For whom?”
Prepositional Phrase: A phrase that begins with a preposition (i.e., in, at for, behind, until, after, of, during) and modifies a word in the sentence. A prepositional phrase answers one of many questions. Here are a few examples: “Where? When? In what way?”
I like spaghetti for dinner.
He reads many books in the library.
English Sentence Structure
The following statements are true about sentences in English:
A new sentence begins with a capital letter.
He obtained his degree.
A sentence ends with punctuation (a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point).
A sentence contains a subject that is only given once.
Smith he obtained his degree.
A sentence contains a verb or a verb phrase.
A sentence follows Subject + Verb + Object word order.
He (subject) obtained (verb) his degree (object).
A sentence must have a complete idea that stands alone. This is also called an independent clause.
Types of sentences
1. Declarative Sentences (Assertive Sentence)
A declarative sentence is the most basic type of sentence. Its purpose is to relay information, and it is punctuated with a period.
For example:
The boy walked home.
I love honey.
He wants to eat cookies, but he doesn't know how to make them.
I do not want to go to school.
He has completed his work.
As you can see, these sentences make statements, whether of fact or opinion. Declarative sentences can be simple, as in the first two examples, or compound, as in the final example. They can also be in any tense, as long as they do their basic job of presenting information. This makes them the most common sentence type.
2. Interrogative Sentences
Interrogative sentences interrogate, or ask questions. These are direct questions, and they are punctuated with a question mark.
Why does the sun shine?
Whose dog is that?
Will Sherri get to keep all her lottery winnings?
Many interrogative sentences start with question words, but others are yes/no questions that begin with the verb instead of the noun. It is important to remember that interrogative sentences still require a noun and a verb to be complete.
Imperative Sentences
Imperative sentences do not simply state a fact but rather tell someone to do something. These can be in the form of friendly advice, basic instructions or more forceful commands. For example:
Please shut the door to keep out the bugs.
Turn left at the bridge.
Stop bothering me!
Many imperative sentences end in periods, but some of the more forceful demands may end in an exclamation point to highlight the emotion. You can identify an imperative sentence because it appears to be missing a subject. However, the command of each imperative is directed at you, making these sentences second person. The subject of the sentence may be omitted, but it's called "you understood" because the reader is aware that each sentence could be written as "you do this" or "you do that."
