A sentence is a grammatical unit that communicates an idea or concept. It consists of a subject, predicate, and often an object. Sentences are essential in conveying thoughts, emotions, and information.
Types of Sentences
- Declarative: Makes a statement (e.g., The sun is shining).
- Interrogative: Asks a question (e.g., Are you coming?).
- Imperative: Gives a command or request (e.g., Shut the door).
- Exclamatory: Expresses strong emotions (e.g., What a beautiful day!).

Sentences help us communicate effectively, convey information clearly, and express our thoughts and feelings. They are the building blocks of language and play a crucial role in everyday communication.
Case Studies
