- What is a sentence?
- A sentence is a group of words that gives a complete thought.
- Parts of a sentence:
- Every sentence has three important parts: a. Subject: Who or what the sentence is about. b. Verb: What the subject is doing or the action. c. Object: Who or what receives the action.
- Subject:
- The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about.
- It is usually a noun (person, place, thing, or idea).
- Examples:
- The cat
- My friend
- The sun
- Verb:
- The verb tells us what the subject is doing or the action.
- Examples:
- jumps
- sings
- eats
- Object:
- The object is the noun that receives the action of the verb.
- Examples:
- the ball (The cat jumps the ball.)
- a song (My friend sings a song.)
- an apple (The boy eats an apple.)
- Putting it all together:
- In a sentence with the SVO pattern, the subject comes first, followed by the verb, and then the object.
- Example sentences:
- The cat jumps the ball.
- My friend sings a song.
- The boy eats an apple.
