00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about sentences and phrases.
00:11Look at the picture and read this group of words.
00:16Is girl a good Mary? Old five years is she.
00:23Brother one has she. Dolls plays with her she.
00:29An ice cream loves she to eat. Do these groups of words make any sense?
00:36No, they do not make sense. Now read the same words in another order.
00:45Mary is a good girl. She is five years old.
00:52She has one brother. She plays with her doll.
00:59She loves to eat ice cream. Now, do these group of words make sense?
01:06Yes, they make complete sense. So, we see that when words are placed in
01:14a proper order, they make meaningful sentences. A sentence is a group of words that make complete
01:23sense. Kids, a sentence always starts with a capital
01:29letter. Each sentence ends with some mark, such as
01:35a full stop, question mark, or an exclamation mark.
01:41Every sentence has a verb in it, or it may both have a verb and a noun in it.
01:50Mary is a good girl. Is this a correct sentence?
01:55No, it is not a correct sentence, as the first letter is not capital, and there is no mark
02:03in the end. Is this a correct sentence now?
02:09Yes, this is a correct sentence now. Read this group of words. Do they make any
02:17sense? Crow caws morning in the . . . No, it doesn't
02:24make any sense. Crow caws in the morning. Trees were there in the house front of . . .
02:36Do these words make any sense? No, they don't make any sense.
02:43There were trees in front of the house. Yes, now these words make sense. So, it's
02:51a complete sentence now. So kids, a sentence is a group of words that
02:58express a complete thought. Now, let's learn what is a phrase. A phrase,
03:06on the other hand, does not express a complete thought. Let's learn with examples.
03:15Mary is a good girl. This is a sentence and expresses a complete
03:22thought. Is a good girl. This group of words does not express a complete
03:30thought, so it's not a sentence but a phrase. Boys are playing in the park. This group
03:40of words make complete sense, so it's a sentence. Boys are . . . and in the park
03:50are not making any sense, so they are phrases. I like chocolates. This group of words make
04:01complete sense, so it's a sentence. I like . . . This group of words does not make a
04:10complete sense, so it's a phrase. Here are some more examples of phrases. In
04:20the park. In the east. Under the tree. For two hours. At night. On the chair. Do these
04:31groups of words make complete sense? No, they are not making complete sense. In the park.
04:41Who is in the park? In the east. What's there in the east? Under the tree. What's there
04:50under the tree? For two hours. What lasted till two hours? At night. What happened at
04:59night? On the chair. What is on the chair? So, these words are not expressing a complete
05:09thought. This is why they are called phrases. Let's have a look at some more examples.
05:19The car. These words make sense, but do not express a complete thought, so they constitute
05:27a phrase. Is speeding. These words so make sense, but do not express a complete thought,
05:38so they constitute a phrase. The car is speeding. These words express a complete thought, so
05:48they constitute a sentence. Here we have another example. We are watching a movie. This group
05:58of words make complete sense, so they constitute a sentence. Watching a movie. We are. These
06:09groups of words are expressing incomplete thoughts, so they are phrases. Phrases are
06:17of many types. Noun phrase, verb phrase, adverb phrase. We will learn more about the types of
06:28phrases in our next section. So, kids, today we learned what are sentences and phrases. Now,
