| sentence |
A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete idea. A sentence always has two parts. One is the subject part, and the other is the verb part. The subject tells us who or what we are talking about, and the verb tells us things like what the subject does or did. "My sister" is not a sentence, and "laughs like a monkey" is not a sentence, but "My sister laughs like a monkey" is a sentence because it has a subject part, "my sister," and a verb part, "laughs like a monkey." |
