sentence (grammar)

In grammar, a unit of words that makes sense in itself, usually containing a finite verb, beginning with a capital letter, and ending with a full stop. It is distinguished from a phrase because it contains a complete thought. Grammatical rules concerning parts of speech and punctuation give guidance for construction.

There are four basic types of sentence: declarative (a statement), interrogative (a question), imperative (a command), and exclamative. They can also be divided into major sentence and minor sentence.
