Exploring Sentence Structure and Parts of a Sentence

The video tutorial explains sentence structure, defining a sentence as a group of words with a capital letter and ending punctuation. It highlights the two main parts of a sentence: the subject, which is the doer, and the predicate, which describes the action or state. Examples illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the typical position of the subject at the beginning and the predicate following it. The tutorial also covers how the subject and predicate form the core meaning of a sentence.
