Sentence is a separate statement with intonational and semantic completeness. A sentence is a word or group of words, organized according to the rules of grammar, that carries a specific message, question, exclamation, or call to action.

  • It's raining. - It's raining.
  • Go outside! - Get outside!
  • What are you doing? - What are you doing?

Sentences of the English language, as in Russian, depending on how many grammatical bases (combinations of subject and predicate) in the sentence, are divided into simple and complex sentences.

  • Simple sentences
  • There is my house. - This is my home.
  • I have to go to the university. - I have to go to the university.
  • Complex sentences
  • There is the house where my family lives. This is the house where my family lives.
  • I have to go to the university now but I will come back soon. I have to go to the university now, but I will be back soon.

Simple sentence (a simple sentence) is a sentence in which there is only one grammatical basis (one combination of subject and predicate).

  • Kate likes dogs. Kate loves dogs.
  • We go jogging every Sunday. We go jogging every Sunday.
  • They didn't go to school last year. They didn't go to school last year.

Simple sentences for the purpose of saying

All simple sentences , depending on the purpose of the statement, can be narrative , interrogative , imperative , exclamatory .

Narrative sentences

  • Kate is good at cooking. Kate cooks well.
  • I don't like honey. - I don't like honey.
  • George hasn't finished his work yet. George has not finished his work yet.

In English, as a rule, there can be only one negation in the sentence , in contrast to the Russian language, where there can be a double negation (the use of particles together not, neither, and negative pronouns, adverbs, etc.) .

  • I know nothing. - I do not know anything.
  • I don't know anything. - I do not know anything.
  • We met no one yesterday. We didn't meet anyone yesterday.
  • We didn't meet anyone yesterday. We didn't meet anyone yesterday.

The double negative in English can be used to further strengthen the negative, but this is not common.

  • I ain't got no money. - I don't have any money.
  • We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control. “We don't need any education, we don't need any thought control.

  • Do you like learning English? – Do you like learning English?

Imperative sentences

  • We will rest and you drive. We will rest and you will drive the car.
  • I will go to the shop and you stay at home. - I'm going to the store, and you stay at home.

  • Don't give me orders! - Don't order me!
  • Don't touch it, please. - Don't touch it, please.
  • Don't be so silly! - Don't be so stupid!
  • Oh, come on, don't be mad. “Oh come on, don’t be mad.

  • How wonderful! - How wonderful!
  • It's such a beautiful life! - What a beautiful life!
  • What a lovely day it is. - What a wonderful day today.

is ... in Russian (definition)

Let's find out what a sentence is in Russian. With the concept "offer" students are introduced in the 1st grade. In grades 2 and 3, the initial knowledge of the proposal expands and deepens. Students will learn what sentences are according to the purpose of the utterance and the strength of the expressed feeling, which members of the sentence are main and secondary.

How do words form a sentence?

Our speech consists of words. In Grade 1, students will learn that certain words name objects. Words denoting living beings answer the question who? Let's ask the question to inanimate objects what?

  • (who?) student, cat;
  • (what?) sun, rain.

Other words indicate the action of objects and answer questions what does it do? what will he do?

The student (what is he doing?) is writing.

The cat (what will it do?) will catch the mouse.

The sun (what is it doing?) is shining.

The rain (what will it do?) will end soon.

These words do not just name objects and their actions, but, being nearby, form a message from which you can find out what is happening with this or that object. This means that the words in the sentence are related in meaning. These words are in a certain order and organize a coherent statement in content, which is called a sentence.

Definition

Sentence is one or more words that express a complete thought.

The first word in a sentence is always capitalized. A period is placed at the end of the sentence.

The wind is blowing. The bird sits on a branch. The sparrow chirps.

What are the offers?

Proposals differ from each other not only in their content, but in what they say. With the help of sentences, we express our thoughts and feelings, address each other with questions, requests and wishes. Each sentence communicates something with a specific purpose. The purpose of the message indicates why, why it is pronounced, with what intonation, with an increase or decrease in voice.

Declarative sentence

If a sentence without expressing special feelings only communicates some information about someone or about events and phenomena that actually occur, it is narrative.

The wave is splashing. A boat is floating on the river. The fisherman is catching fish.

The intonation with which these sentences are pronounced is calm, narrative, and at the end their voice drops somewhat.

Definition

A sentence in which someone or something is reported is called a narrative sentence.

At the end of a declarative sentence, a final punctuation mark is placed.

Interrogative sentence

If we have a goal to learn about something, then we ask questions:

Who sings on the tree? What kind of bird is this?

Definition

A sentence containing a question is called an interrogative sentence.

These sentences are pronounced with a special interrogative intonation. The voice rises at the end of a sentence. An interrogative sentence ends with a question mark.

Incentive offer

With the help of sentences, we can encourage someone to act, as well as express our request, wish.

Call me tomorrow.

Pass me the book.

Sit down for a minute.

Definition

A sentence that advises to do something or encourages action is called an incentive.

Conclusion

So, according to the purpose of the statement, sentences can be declarative, interrogative and incentive.

Exclamatory and non-exclamatory sentences

Sentences differ not only in the purpose of the statement, but also in intonation. Some sentences are pronounced calmly, without showing any special emotions. These are non-exclamatory offers.

And some sentences express a strong feeling and are pronounced with a special intonation.

How beautiful daisies bloom!

How many butterflies are there!

It's snowing!

Definition

A sentence that is pronounced with strong feeling is called an exclamation.

An exclamation mark is placed at the end of such a sentence.

The main members of the proposal

The proposal has the main members that form its basis. Each sentence tells who or what it is about.

(Who?) The girl will sing a song.

(What?) A cloud floats across the sky.

The word denoting the person or thing referred to in the sentence is the main member of the sentence. This is the subject.

Definition

The subject is the main member of a sentence that indicates who or what the sentence is about. The subject answers the questions who? what?

The sentence must have a second main member, which indicates what action the subject performs. This is the predicate.

The girl (what will she do?) will sing a song.

A cloud (what is it doing?) floats across the sky.

Definition

The predicate is the main member of the sentence, which indicates that the subject is being said and answers questions what does it do? what will he do? what have you been doing? What did you do?

Subject and predicate form the grammatical basis of a sentence.

Common and non-common sentence

The subject and predicate are the main members of the sentence, which are the grammatical and semantic center of the sentence. Other members of the proposal are minor.

Subject and predicate can express a complete thought independently.

Winter has come. Snow. Children are happy.

These sentences contain only the main members of the sentence. Such a proposal is not common.

Definition

A sentence in which there are only main members of the sentence is called non-extended .

In a sentence, in addition to the main members, there may be minor members that explain the subject or predicate or another minor member.

Compare:

The snowy winter has finally arrived. White fluffy snow fell. All children are happy about winter.

Definition

A sentence in which, in addition to the main ones, there are secondary members of the sentence, is called common .
