How to Build a Simple Sentence

A sentence is a group of words.

Every sentence has a subject.

The subject is who or what the sentence is about.

For example, "the cat" is a subject.

Every sentence also has a verb.

A verb is an action word.

"Runs" and "eats" are verbs.

A simple sentence is: "The cat runs."

You can add more words to make it longer.

"The cat runs fast" is a longer sentence.

You can also add an object.

An object is what gets the action.

"The cat eats fish" has a subject, a verb, and an object.

Start your sentence with a capital letter.

End your sentence with a period.
