Word vs Sentence

A word is a single unit of meaning. A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete idea, begins with a capital letter, and ends with a full stop (or ? / !).

WordSentence
dogThe dog is black.
runI run every morning.
happyShe is happy today.

A sentence needs at least a subject + verb: Birds fly.

If a group of words doesn't give a complete idea, it's not a sentence yet. "The big dog" = not a sentence. "The big dog barks." = a sentence.

Common mistake: Writing a sentence with no verb ("My friend very kind"). Add a verb: "My friend is very kind."

✏️ Test Yourself

1. "happy day"

2. "She is happy."

3. "The sun is hot."

4. "in the morning"
