sentence: A group of words that tells one complete thought, with a naming part and a doing part
naming part: The who or what of a sentence — example: 'The dog', 'My sister', 'A big fish'
doing part: The action in a sentence — example: 'runs', 'sings', 'eats pizza'
capital letter: The BIG letter that must start every sentence
period (.): The punctuation mark at the end of a telling sentence
complete thought: An idea that makes sense all by itself — it doesn't leave you wondering what happened
The cat sleeps.: A complete sentence — naming part: The cat / doing part: sleeps
My dog barks.: A complete sentence — naming part: My dog / doing part: barks
We play.: A complete sentence — short but complete! Naming part: We / doing part: play
Big and fluffy.: NOT a sentence — there is no doing part and no complete thought
Runs fast.: NOT a sentence — we don't know who runs (missing the naming part)
statement: A telling sentence that ends with a period — it states a fact or idea
