Rules and examples to help you make simple sentences.
To make a sentence you need three things:
1. A sentence is a group of words that makes sense on its own.
Cheese, car, house, table on Tuesday.
This isn't a sentence - it doesn't make sense.
I parked my car next to my house.
This is a sentence. You can understand what it means. It makes sense on its own.
2. When you are writing you need to use the right sentence punctuation.
Using punctuation will show the person who is reading your writing where the sentences begin and end.
A sentence must begin with a capital letter.
A sentence must end with a full-stop (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation mark (!).
3. A sentence also needs two kinds of words in it:
A sentence must have a VERB (a doing word).
e.g. like, is, cooking, walked, need.
A sentence must also have a SUBJECT. This is the person, or the thing, that is doing the verb.
