SENTENCE

  
     
  Sentence is a group of words, usually containing a verb, that expresses a thought in the form of a statement, question, instruction, or exclamation and starts with a capital letter when written.  
     
     
     
 
1.1    SIMPLE SENTENCE
 
     
  A simple sentence shows one idea.  
     
 

a. It has a subject (noun) and a predicate (what the subject has or does).

  
     
 

b. The sentence must make sense.

  
     
 

c. Start with a capital letter.
