Sentence Structure

A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought and contains a subject and a predicate.

Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, Exclamatory.

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is.

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb.

An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while a dependent clause cannot.

Coordinating conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal importance, such as 'and', 'but', 'or', 'nor', 'for', 'so', and 'yet'.

A sentence fragment is a group of words that does not express a complete thought and is not a complete sentence.

An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request.

A declarative sentence makes a statement and ends with a period.
