Today's Lesson

Welcome to Grammar, Parts of Speech, and Sentence Structure! Today we will learn how to review what makes a complete sentence. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.

A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete thought. Every sentence needs a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject does or is). For example: "The dog runs." The subject is "the dog" and the predicate is "runs." A sentence always starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark (. ? !). When you write sentences, make sure each one is complete!

Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!

Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
