2. SENTENCE AND ITS PARTS

3. WHAT IS A SENTENCE?
 A sentence is a group of words that makes a complete sense.
 A sentence consists of a subject and a predicate.
 A sentence may express a statement, a question, a desire or an
exclamation.
 It is different from a word , phrase or clause.
For eg. The lion roared in the jungle.

4. WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE
OF SENTENCE?
Every sentence has two parts:
1. The Subject
2. The Predicate
 The Subject is the person or thing spoken about.
 The predicate is what is said about that person or
thing; or what that person or thing does.

5. W HA T IS A SUBJ ECT A ND PR EDICA TE?
For eg. The lion roared in the jungle
Subject
Predicate
A subject is the noun or pronoun-based part of a sentence.
For eg. The lion
The postman brings letters
A predicate is the verb-based part that the subject performs.
For eg. Roared in the jungle.

6. WHAT IS A PHRASE?
The lion roared in the jungle.
His sister has gone to the market
Radha sang a song on the stage.
in the jungle , to the market & on the stage
 Therefore, a group of words that makes partial sense and does
not have a subject and predicate of its own is called a phrase.

7. WHAT IS A CLAUSE?
When Neha reached home, it was dark.
1. When Neha reached home
2. it was dark.
it …………( Subject )
was…….... (Verb )
dark………..( Complement)
Therefore, a group of words that forms a part of a sentence and may have a subject
and a predicate of its own is called a clause.
