The Sentence

As we know that a sentence is a group of words arranged in a specific order that makes a complete 

sense or meaning. Here, we will learn how to make a sentence using the given words. We will also

 know about what a correct sentence is or what the ways to correct a sentence are. Examples 

related to correction of sentences are given for practice. Solve the exercises given in the grade 

4 grammar book chapter 1 to know more about the sentences.

Read the following groups of words:

1. is Supriya good girl a

2. name is his Mayank.

3. ten years am I old

4. go I school to everyday

Do these groups of words make sense? No, they do not. So they are not sentences.

Now read the same groups of words:

1. Supriya is a good girl.

2. His name is Mayank.

3. I am ten years old.

4. I go to school every day.

Do the above groups of words make sense? Yes, they do. So they are sentences. Hence, we see that

 when words are placed in a specific order they make sense and form what we call a sentence.
