Sentence: A sentence is a group of words which expresses a complete thought.A sentence must contain a subject and a verb (although one may be implied)

Pattern:Subject + verb + Object/complement/adverbExample:English is an International Language. (Affirmative)We do not do bad things. (Negative)Everybody should know English. (Modal auxiliaries)

There are two ways to form an interrogative sentence.I.

Clear Head: You must do your duty. (It is assertive, not imperative.)Home
