1.5 WRITING SENTENCES
Writing a sentence involves combining words in a way that forms a clear and meaningful idea. A well-
constructed sentence typically includes a subject and a predicate, allowing it to convey a statement, ask a
question, give a command, or express an emotion. For a sentence to be effective, it must be structured in a
way that is easily understood by others. When sentences are arranged logically, they create coherent writing
that communicates thoughts effectively. Proper sentence construction is essential for clear communication,
making it easier for readers to grasp the intended message.
A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense. A sentence has different parts as shown below:
Rahul drinks juice

subject or a verb (or both).
