Do you know what makes your English sound complete? The answer is simple — a sentence. Every language uses sentences to express clear thoughts, ideas or feelings. But what exactly is a sentence, and how can you make one correctly?
📘 Definition (Simple Meaning)
A sentence is a group of words that gives a complete meaning or idea. It always starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!).
👉 Example:
She is reading a book.
🧩 Structure of a Simple Sentence
Every sentence in English follows a basic pattern called S–V–O.
- S = Subject (who or what the sentence is about)
- V = Verb (the action word)
- O = Object (the receiver of the action)
🔹 Example:
Riya (S) plays football (O).
→ Riya plays football.
This simple SVO rule helps you make 90% of your daily English sentences easily.
🗣️ Types of Sentences (Basic)
- Declarative Sentence: Gives information.
→ He is my friend. - Interrogative Sentence: Asks a question.
→ Are you okay? - Imperative Sentence: Gives an order or request.
→ Please sit down. - Exclamatory Sentence: Shows strong feeling.
→ What a beautiful day!
💡 Quick Tip for Learners
Every time you write a sentence, check two things:
- ✔ Does it have a subject and a verb?
- ✔ Does it make a complete sense?
If yes — congratulations! 🎉 You’ve made a correct English sentence.
