Sentences
A group of words that makes a complete sense is called a sentence.
A sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.) or a question mark (?).
A sentence must have a certain order of words.
Read the following sets of words :- English teacher she is my
- he honest hardworking is and
- Postman letters us bring for
The above sets of words are jumbled words, so they do not make any sense.
Now, read the same sets of words arranged in their proper order :
- She is my English teacher.
- He is honest and hardworking.
- Postman brings letters for us.
Types of sentences
A sentence that says or states something is called a statement. It ends with a full stop (.).

We use an exclamation mark (!) after words/sentences which ahow anger, surprise, sadness or happiness.
Examples:- Alas! The king is dead. (sorrow)
- Hurrah! We have won. (happiness)
A sentence that expresses a strong sudden feeling is called an exclamatory sentence.
Example:- How lovely the flower is!
