Sentences are the basic building blocks of language. They are groups of words that express a complete thought or idea. Sentences can be simple or complex, short or long, but they all share a common structure.
The Structure of a Sentence
Every sentence has two main parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun or pronoun that names the person, place, or thing that is doing or being something. The predicate is the verb that tells what the subject is doing or being.
For example, in the sentence "The dog barked," the subject is "dog" and the predicate is "barked."
