Sentence
A sentence is a group of words that forms a complete thought that makes sense.
A sentence can express a statement or ask a question. It can also express an
exclamation, request, command or a suggestion.
A sentence must have a verb and a subject. The subject is often a noun.
Remember a sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop
or the appropriate punctuation such as question mark, exclamation mark etc.

person or thing that you talk about. The predicate is the part that gives us more
information about the subject.
