Sentences
Remember!
Hey there! Let's talk about sentences. Sentences are groups of words that express a complete thought. Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark like a period, question mark, or exclamation point.
Let's look at some examples of complete sentences:
- - The dog ran through the yard. (This is a statement that tells us something.)
- - Where is my book? (This is a question.)
- - Hurry up! (This is an exclamation expressing strong emotion.)
Now it's your turn! Let's practice identifying if some groups of words are complete sentences or fragments:
- The cat purring loudly
Is this a complete sentence? Yes or no?______ - Go to sleep!
Complete sentence? Yes or no? ______ - Do you want to play basketball?
Complete sentence? Yes or no? ______
Great job! Let's go over the answers:
- No (this is a fragment - missing the action)
- Yes
- Yes
Understanding different types of sentences and what makes them complete is a key reading and writing skill. Let me know if you need any clarification or want to practice more!
