                      Writing Sentences

              A sentence is a sequence of words that collectively express a complete, meaningful idea. A sentence is constructed by
              stringing together a series of words. This means that others must understand the sentence. A sentence usually consists
              of a subject and an object that conveys a statement, question, exclamation, or command. Writing is created by arranging
              sentences in a logical order that is understandable to the reader.
              A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. A sentence has different parts as shown below.
