IndianTechnoEra: Making Simple Sentences

Making Simple Sentences

We can make simple sentences by putting words together in the correct order.

A simple sentence can tell us about a person, animal, thing or action.

Learning Objectives

• Make simple sentences using familiar words.
• Use naming words in sentences.
• Use action words in sentences.
• Check whether a sentence makes sense.

Person and Action

One easy way to make a sentence is to name someone or something and tell what they do.

Person or Thing + Action

Example: Riya runs.

Simple Examples

The boy runs.
The girl sings.
The dog jumps.
The bird flies.

Using Describing Words

We can also add a describing word to give more information.

The boy runs.
The tall boy runs.

The word tall gives us more information about the boy.
