  • Sentence is a group of words that make complete sense by itself.

    Features of a sentence:

    1. It has a verb.
    2. It has a subject & a predicate.
    3. It begins with a capital letter.
    4. It ends with a full stop (.) or exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?) depending on the type of sentence.
    5. The words are written in proper order.
    6. It follows the subject-verb agreement.

    For a sentence to make complete sense it should have all the above features.

    Example:

    The I drank coffee. (This is not making any sense)

    I drank the coffee. (This makes sense; hence is a sentence)
