A sentence is a group of words. A sentence should make complete sense
when you read or write it.

Features of sentences are as follows:

G Must contain a subject and a verb.

G Always begins with a capital letter.

G Ends with a fullstop, question mark or an
exclamation mark.

Every sentence is made of two parts:

The Subject The Predicate

G In a sentence, the person or thing about which something is being said is
called the subject .

G What we say about the subject or what the subject does is said to be the

predicate of the sentence.

Read the following examples:

1. The girl is singing.

Subject Predicate

2. Delhi is a large city.

3. Reema is singing.

4. Madhu has a beautiful dress.

5. Sohan is playing Hockey.

6. She is my sister.

Here, the coloured words are subjects and the words in boxes are predicates.
