A group of words that makes complete sense is called a sentence. A complete sentence expresses a complete thought.
For example:
- Harry listens to music.
- Do you like muffins?
- I love going to the amusement park!
These are all complete sentences.
But, the following sentences are not complete:
- small yellow flowers
- people who talk a lot
Note: Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period, question mark or exclamation mark.
Every complete sentence has two parts:
- A subject and
- A predicate
- The subject is what or who the sentence is about.
- The predicate is what is being said about the subject. In other words, it describes what is happening.
For example:
- He opened his wallet.
- Mary baked a pie.
Here, these sentences make complete thoughts with subjects and predicates.
Let's take a look at subjects:
- Sandra draws a picture.
Here, Sandra is the subject. She is who the sentence is about.
Now, let's take a look at predicates:
- Sandra draws a picture.
Here, draws a picture is the predicate. That is what is happening in the sentence.
Remember, predicates always contain a verb.
