<p>A <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/sentence-formation-grade-3">Sentence</a> is simply a set of words. It has a <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/subject-and-predicate-grade-3">subject and predicate</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Subject:&nbsp;</strong> The topic of the sentence. It is what the sentence is all about. It contains a common / proper noun (e.g.: he/she/ boy, boys / women/ Tom, Jerry, Chicago, Cat, etc.)&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Predicate:</strong> Tells us about what the subject is doing or what the subject is about. It must have a verb. It may/ may not contain an object.&nbsp;</p>



<p>An <strong>object</strong> is something that receives the action. E.g.: Jerry is being chased by Tom.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Note:&nbsp;</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In the first sentence there is a subject a verb and an object.&nbsp;</li>



<li>In the second, third and fourth sentence there is only subject and verb.&nbsp;</li>



<li>In the fifth sentence the subject is hidden.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>There must be a verb. Otherwise, it would not be a sentence.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>A sentence expresses a complete thought.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p><div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes"  data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Summary&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The rule of a <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/sentences-subject-grade-3">sentence</a> is it begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop / question mark / exclamation mark. </li>



<li>It must always express a complete thought. It should express fragmented thought.  &nbsp;</li>



<li>It must contain at least one subject (visible/hidden) and one verb. They should be able to convey a complete thought.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Examples</strong>:</p>



<p>Do it / Leave it / Come here / Go there. Here the subject ‘you’ or ‘he/she’ is hidden but verb ‘do’ is visible.   George is driving his car. This sentence starts with a capital letter. It has a subject, verb and object, hence it is a <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/complete-sentences-grade-5">complete sentence</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Subject &#8211; Verb Agreement&nbsp;</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Every sentence has subject and a suitable verb.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>There should be an agreement with subjects and verbs in number (singular or plural).&nbsp;</li>



<li>This is called subject verb agreement.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Read the following sentence:&nbsp;</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jake are completing his homework.&nbsp;</li>



<li>The kids loves cake.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<p><strong>If the subject is plural, use a plural verb.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>If the subject is singular, use a singular verb.&nbsp;</strong></p><div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes"  data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



<p><strong>For example:</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jake is completing his homework.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<p>&nbsp;Jake is a subject which is singular. So, use singular form of verb (is).&nbsp;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list" start="2">
<li>The kids love cake.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<p>Here, subject is plural (kids). So, we use the verb love.&nbsp;</p>
