SESSION 4 Writing Skills: Parts of Speech
When we speak or write in English, we use sentences to express our thoughts. Sentences are essential because
if they are not written clearly, their meaning might not be understood. A sentence is a group of words that
conveys a complete idea (e.g., Neetu goes to park). A sentence always starts with a capital letter and ends
with a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark. Phrases can be a short or a long sentence and give a
complete meaning when attached to a principal clause or an independent sentence. Hence, a phrase may
also be explained as a dependent sentence, for example: “after the class” is a phrase and “I will meet you” is
a principal clause.
By joining together these sentences we get “I will meet you after the class”.
USING CAPITALS
We know that all sentences begin with capital letters. But do you know where else we should use capital letters
in a sentence? The word “MINTS” can help you remember the capitalisation rules. Each letter in “MINTS”
stands for a specific capitalisation rule.
