English lesson one Sentence


Welcome to the English lesson, lesson one
Today I’m gonna teach you sentence:
What is a sentence?
A sentence is a group of words used to communicate a complete thought.
When we speak or write we use word, we generally use these words in groups. For example: The man is going to the park. A group of word like this which makes complete sense is called sentence.
When we make sentence we say some sentence about that person or
Things In other word we must have a subject to speak about and we must say a predicate something about that subject. Hence every sentence has two parts which name person or thing we are speaking about is called the subject of the sentence the part which let us something about the subject is called predicate of the sentence.
Here are a few examples of subject or predicate:
The cat chases the rat.
Ram is playing.
The sun sets.
In these sentences the word like the cat, ram and the sun are the subject of the sentence was like sets, is playing and chases the rat are saying something about the subject hence are the predicate of the sentence.
The subject in a sentence usually comes first but in some sentences it comes later:
Example:
Go to the temple every day. Here temple every day is the subject and go to is the predicate.
Don’t make noise in this sentence noise is the subject and don’t make is the predicate.
Kind of sentences:
Sentences are four kinds:
1) Assertive                               3) exclamatory
2) Interrogative                         4) imperative
1) Assertive sentence: A sentence that makes a statement is called a declarative or assertive sentence.
For Example: English is a global language.
2) Interrogative sentence: A sentence that asks a question is called an interrogative sentence.
For Example: Do you have a pen?
Exclamatory sentence: A sentence that expresses strong feeling is called an exclamatory sentence.
For Example: What a smart car!
Imperative sentence: A sentence that express a command or
Request is called imperative sentence.
For Example: Be quite or please help me
