-
For a group of words to be defined as a sentence it requires three things:
-
It contains a predicate and a subject. The predicate, or verb, tells what the subject, or noun, is doing.
-
The words make sense and express a complete thought:
-
It begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, exclamation point, or question mark.
-
A simple sentence contains one independent clause. An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a complete thought.
-
A compound sentence has more than one independent clauses joined together with appropriate punctuation and/or conjunctions.
-
A question asks the reader something. It begins with a question word. A question starts with a capital letter and ends with a question mark.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
