Building Sentences

Creating Great Sentences

Sentences are how we share our thoughts! Every sentence needs a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what they do).

Sentence Basics

  • Subject: Tells who or what the sentence is about.
  • Predicate: Tells what the subject is doing.

Putting It Together

You can make your sentences interesting by adding details. Remember to start sentences with a capital letter and end with punctuation!

Real-World Use

When you want to ask for a snack, tell a joke, or write a letter, you use sentences to make your meaning clear.

Examples

  • The bird sings.

  • Sara rides her bike to the park.

In a Nutshell

A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete idea.
