<\/div>\n
When you write, it is vital that you know what is and what is not a
sentence. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A sentence must have five things in order to be complete:<\/p>\n

            1. C<\/b>apital at the beginning<\/p>\n

            a. The first letter of the first word in a sentence must be
capitalized. <\/p>\n

            b. It does not matter what the first word is; it is always
capitalized. <\/p>\n

For example: A kindergarten child is so cute. <\/p>\n

            2. A<\/b>ll makes sense<\/p>\n

            a. A sentence must make sense. <\/p>\n

            b. If a phrase has four of the other things a sentence must
have, but it leaves you hanging and does not make sense, then it is not a
sentence. <\/p>\n

Examples:<\/p>\n

                        1) When the boy ran. This is not a complete sentence
because it leaves you hanging.<\/p>\n

                        2) The boy ran though the woods. This is a complete
sentence because it has all five things a sentence must have.<\/p>\n

            3. V<\/b>erb<\/p>\n

            a. A sentence must have a verb (action or BHL\u2014being verb, helping verb, linking verb). <\/p>\n

            b. This tells what the subject does or is. <\/p>\n

For example: The boys played <\/b>football in the snow. <\/p>\n

            4. E<\/b>nd mark<\/p>\n

            a. A sentence must have ending punctuation:  <\/p>\n

                        1) a period (.)<\/p>\n

                        2) an exclamation point (!)<\/p>\n

                        3) question mark (?)<\/p>\n

            b. Examples: <\/p>\n

                        1) The boys are playing football.<\/p><\/div>\n

2) Watch out for the football!<\/div>\n
3) Are they playing football?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
            5. Subject<\/p>\n

            a. A sentence must have a subject. <\/p>\n

            b. This is what or whom the sentence is about. <\/p>\n

 <\/span>The following acronym will help you to remember these five things: <\/p>\n

Capital at the beginning <\/p>\n

All makes sense<\/p>\n

Verb<\/p>\n

End mark<\/p>\n
