Card 1Definition of a Sentence

What is a sentence?

Answer

A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. It tells us something or asks a question. For example: 'I like apples.' or 'Where is my book?'

Card 2Understanding Sentences

Why is 'sweet oranges' not a sentence?

Answer

'Sweet oranges' is not a sentence because it does not make complete sense. We don't know what about sweet oranges — who likes them? Are they tasty? A sentence must give a full idea.

Card 3Application of Sentences

Is 'Open your book.' a sentence? Why?

Answer

Yes, 'Open your book.' is a sentence because it makes complete sense. It gives a clear command or instruction, and we understand what someone wants us to do.

Card 4Sentence Rules

Every sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!). For example: 'She runs fast.' or 'Are you happy?'
