                   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—the person or     Verb—expresses what      Object—the  receiver
                                  thing performing the      the action is.           of the action.
                                  action.

                 Some other examples are:
                                       Sentence                      Subject     Verb     Object

                                       Reema kicks the ball.         Reema       kicks    the ball
                                       He smokes a cigar.            He          smokes   a cigar
                                       Kanika drives the car.        Kanika      drives   the car


                 Phrase

                 A phrase is a group of words that work together but do not form a complete sentence because they lack a
                 subject or a verb (or both).
                 Types of phrases:
                 Noun Phrase: A phrase centered around a noun.
                 Example: "the big house".
                 Verb Phrase: A phrase centered around a verb.
