Class 4 the sentence

 

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 about the sentences.

Read the following groups of words:

1. Is Rakesh good girl a

2. Name is his Surendra

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. Ritu is a good girl.

2. His name is Mohan

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:

1.    Statements or Assertive Sentences (I am writing a letter.)

{Note: It is always followed by period i.e. full stop (.)}

2.    Commands or Imperative Sentences (Please help me.)

3.    Questions or Interrogative Sentences (Are you going to school?)

4.    Optative Sentences (May you live long!)

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

5.    Exclamations or Exclamatory Sentences (Hello! What are you doing there?)

(Note: A Mark of Exclamation (!) is used at the end of an exclamatory word sentence.)
