Tip: Make school work a priority now and treat it as such. Everything else must come second to it. Truly do that, and you can be assured that in future, you shall be spoilt for options. The economy is really bad right now, education gives you an advantage in that regard.

English: Revision- Sentences

A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought.

Things to remember: A sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark, depending on the nature and meaning of the sentence.
A sentence must contain a subject and a finite verb.

There are four types of sentences
• Statements
These sentences supply information.
e.g. Shaun is going to school.
• Question
These ask for information. Always end with a question mark
Where is Shaun going?
• Exclamations
This type of sentences express emotions such as surprise, fear, alarm or anger. Always end with an exclamation mark.
e.g. This work is unacceptable!
• Commands (Imperatives)
These are used to give orders and instructions.
e.g. Do not enter through that door.
e.g. Get out of my house now!

That’s it for today. Next cover will touch on the three classifications of sentences.
