📖 Let’s Learn Simple Sentences

A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete idea. Every simple sentence has at least two parts: a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a verb (what they do). Many sentences also have an object (who or what receives the action).

💡 The Rule

A simple sentence = Subject + Verb + Object. Example: Rahul (subject) eats (verb) a mango (object).

Here’s what you need to know!
