grammatically linked.
• can include words grouped meaningfully to express a
statement, question, exclamation, request, command or
suggestion
• a set of words that in principle tells a complete thought,
although it may make little sense taken in isolation out of
context.

sentence can also be defined purely in orthographic terms,
as a group of words starting with a capital letter and ending
in a full stop
15. VERBS

• is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an
action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an occurrence
(happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand).
• E.g:
– Wahyu bring a tea
– Indra read a newspaper every morning
– Children play in the park
– I am a teacher
– My fathers has a car
– The picture was painted
Editor's Notes
First impressions are a really important aspect of British culture. Introducing yourself and others in the correct way is fraught with various do's and dont's of etiquette.
In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman.
However, in the business world introductions are based on a person's rank or position in an organisation. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, introduce the one you know less well to the one you know best.
There might be occasions where you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am .....". If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary. There are some useful tips below.
In the usual description of English, the basic form, with or without the particle to, is the infinitive. In many languages, verbs are inflected (modified in form) to encode tense, aspect, mood, and voice. A verb may also agree with the person, gender, and/or number of some of its arguments, such as its subject, or object. Verbs have tenses: present, to indicate that an action is being carried out; past, to indicate that an action has been done; future, to indicate that an action will be done.
