What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a grammatical unit that expresses a complete thought or idea. It typically consists of a subject (a noun or pronoun that performs the action) and a predicate (a verb or verb phrase that describes the action).

A sentence can be a simple sentence consisting of just one independent clause, or it can be a compound or complex sentence consisting of multiple clauses connected by conjunctions or other punctuation marks. Sentences can be declarative (making a statement), interrogative (asking a question), imperative (giving a command), or exclamatory (expressing strong emotion).

Sentence = Subject (actor) + Predicate (action)
Example: I eat rice.

SUBJECT	PREDICATE
I	eat + rice
pronoun	verb + noun
S (subject)	V (verb) + O (object)

Parts of Speech

Simply put, parts of speech are different types of words that help us understand how words are used in sentences. Each sentence consists of words like nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. There are 8 parts of speech in the English language.

8 Parts of Speech

1. Noun – is a word that names a person, place, thing, or event.
2. Pronoun – is a word that is used to replace a noun in a sentence.
3. Adjective – is a word that describes or modifies a noun.
4. Verb – is a word that denotes an action or state of being.
5.  Adverb – is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
6.  Preposition – is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or a pronoun in a sentence.
7. Conjunction – is a word that connects words, phrases, or sentences.
