The Sentence and its Structure and Diagram with instances 

The Sentence :

A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. It starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark, like a period, question mark, or exclamation point.

For example:

"I am going to the store." This is a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought and it starts with capital letter and ends with a period.

• "Do you like ice cream?" This is a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought and it starts with capital letter and ends with a question mark.
• "Let's go outside and play!" This is a complete sentence because it expresses a complete thought and it starts with capital letter and ends with an exclamation point.

A sentence can be short or long, simple or complex. It can contain a subject and a verb, and can include other words and phrases to give more information.

The Structure of a Sentence and its Diagram:

The structure of a sentence typically includes the following components:

1. Subject: The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It usually comes at the beginning of the sentence.

2. Verb: The verb is the action or state of being that the subject is performing or experiencing. It usually comes immediately after the subject.

3. Object: The object is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. It usually comes immediately after the verb.

Here's a diagram representing the structure of a sentence:

    Subject                           Verb     Object

    "I"                                "am"    "going"

                                             "to the store"

In the example above "I" is the subject, "am" is the verb and "going to the store" is the object.

However, not all sentences will have all three components, some sentences can have only a subject and verb, called as a simple sentence or it can be complex sentence with multiple clauses. It is worth noting that the structure of a sentence can vary depending on the type of sentence (e.g. declarative, imperative, exclamatory, or interrogative) and the style of writing.
