Sentence
Def: Sentence is a group of word that gives a complete sense.
As: I have a pen. They are poor. Bangladesh is our homeland. We love our country and the people. These group of words complete the meaning. Therefore they are sentence.
On the other hand: Consider the following sentences:
Pen have I a. Lokman an effective man living in is Kolabagan. These are not sentences Because they can not finish complete sense.
The three things for a sentence:
1. It is a group of words arranged in a particular order or proper order and it make a complete sense.

3. The sentence must end with proper punctuation mark.
Two parts of a sentence:

Predicate: In the sentence from verb to the end part is called predicate. On the other hand it says something about the subject.
Ram and his three brothers are in number four. We were reading for four hours. [ Here 'are four' and 'were reading for four hours' are predicate.]
