NARRATOR:
When we write things down, it’s important to keep things nice and clear, so it’s easy to read.
Sentences help us give an order, ask a question, state a fact, or express an emotion or idea.
Words are the building blocks of sentences.
The small spaces in-between help to keep things tidy.
Er, but you have to be sure to put the blocks in the right order.
Hey! Watch out for the…Ouch. Someone really should look into that.
Anyway, sentences have basic rules.
They always start with a capital letter and end with punctuation like a full stop, exclamation mark, or question mark.
Perfect. Why don’t you build another one?
Um, sentences have to make sense, remember?
And they need a verb and a subject.
The subject is the who or what of a sentence.
Yes, crane is the subject.
Er, but we still need a verb, which is a doing word.
Ah! Time for a break.
Not that kind of break.
That’s gotta hurt.
