In this section, you will learn to:


 identify non-sentences and sentences
 differentiate non-sentences from sentences
 capitalize the first of the beginning word in a sentence
 use correct punctuation marks
 form good sentences out of a given set of words
 make sentences using the correct word order

Learning How to Distinguish Non- Sentences from Sentences


In the dialogs that your teacher read, you heard these group of words:
A B
1. My name is Tintin. 1. My name
2. I live at 8 Daisy Street. 2. at 8 Daisy Street
3. I’m in Grade 1. 3. grade 1

Observe that the three groups of words in column A express complete


thoughts. You can fully understand what they mean. These are called
sentences. A sentence expresses a complete thought or idea.
In column B, the groups of words do not express a complete thought or
idea. These are called non-sentences.

Remember
A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought or idea.
This group of words is arranged in good order. It begins with a capital
letter. It ends with a period (.) or a question mark (?). Sometimes a
sentence may also end with an exclamation point (!). Example: Sheila
sweeps the floor.
How do you know that a sentence is in good order?
Answer the following questions
 Who sweeps the floor? Answer: Sheila
 What does Sheila do? Answer: She sweeps the floor.
The sentence having a complete thought will then be:
Sheila sweeps the floor.
A group of words that does not express a complete thought or idea is
called a nonsentence.
