The sentence
Read
the following sentences:
1. Rises the sun in East the.
2. my friend best are
you.
3. Name smita my is.
4. best policy honesty
is the.
Do
these groups of words make any sense? No, they don't. Therefore, they
cannot be called sentences.
Now,
read the following sentences:
1. The sun rises in the east.
2. You are my best friend.
3. My name is Smita.
4. Honesty is the best policy.
Now these
groups of words make complete sense. So, they are called sentences.
A group of words that is arranged in proper order and makes complete
sense is called a sentence.

👉
- The first
word of a sentence always begins with a capital letter.
- The words
must be written in a systematic way so that they can convey proper meaning
and make sense.
- A full
stop must we put at the end of a sentence. An interrogative sentence ends
with a sign of interrogation (?) and an exclamatory sentence ends with a sign
of exclamation (!).
Sometimes a sentence may be made up of just one word; as
(i) Listen
(ii) Stop
(iii) Go
All these are one word sentences. They give commands. In these sentences
the subject ‘you’ is understood.
