Chapter 1:-The Sentence
As we know that a sentence is a group of words arranged in a specific order that makes a complete sense or meaning. Here, we will learn how to make a sentence using the given words. We will also know about what a correct sentence is or what the ways to correct a sentence are. Examples related to correction of sentences are given for practice. Solve the exercises given in the grade 4 grammar book chapter 1 to know more abo ut t he sentences.
Read the following groups of words:
1. is Supriya good girl a
2. name is his Mayank.
3. ten years am I old
4. go I school to everyday
Do these groups of words make sense? No, they do not. So they are not sentences.
Now read the same groups of words:
1. Supriya is a good girl.
2. His name is Mayank.
3. I am ten years old.
4. I go to school every day.
Do the above groups of words make sense? Yes, they do. So they are sentences. Hence, we see that when words are placed in a specific order they make sense and form what we call a sentence.
Kinds of Sentences:
-
- Statements or Assertive Sentences (I am writing a letter.)
{Note: It is always followed by period i.e. full stop (.)}
- Commands or Imperative Sentences (Please help me.)

(Note: Every Optative Sentence ends with a Mark of Exclamation (!).
