Making a sentence that makes Making a sentence that makes sense sense

(or, using correct grammar) (or, using correct grammar)

This is how to make a sentence

An English sentence has 3 main parts:

1.The subject-NOUN (what the sentence is about)

2. The verb (what the subject is or what the subject is doing)

3. The object-NOUN (to whom or to what)

Subject or Noun

A noun is 3 things:

• A person (or people)

• A place

• A thing

A Subject or NOUN can be a person

(or people):

A Subject or NOUN can be a place

*a city *a country

*a home

A Subject or NOUN can be a thing

Rule 1:

A and An usually go before a noun

We use “a” before a noun that begins with a consonant.

We use “an” before a noun that begins with a verb.

Rule 2: A and The

We use “a” before a noun that is not a proper name. Examples: a city (any city), a beach (any beach)

We use “the” before a noun that names a specific thing and is a proper noun.

Examples: the city I was born in, the beach where I go fishing

We don’t use either when a proper name follows.Examples: I live in Kunming City. I swim at Huntington Beach.

There are exceptions!
