English Grammar: Words and Sentences

Every language has building blocks. In English, we start with letters, which form words, and words that eventually form sentences.

🔤 1. What is a Word?

A word is a group of letters arranged in a definite order that conveys a specific meaning.

• Examples:
  • Ant (A-n-t)
  • Apple (A-p-p-l-e)
  • School (S-c-h-o-o-l)
  • Police (P-o-l-i-c-e)

✍️ 2. What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a group of words arranged in a proper order to express a complete thought or meaning.

Key Rules for a Sentence:

1. It must start with a Capital letter.
2. It must end with a Full stop (.), Question mark (?), or Exclamation mark (!).
3. It must have a proper order (Subject + Verb + Object).

• Examples:
  • I like an apple.
  • My name is Rahul.
  • I study in Class 5.
  • The school is very big.
