A. What is Sentence?
Sentence is the largest unit of any language. In English, it begins with a capital letter and
ends with a full-stop, or a question mark, or an exclamation mark.
The sentence is generally defined as a word or a group of words that expresses a thorough idea
by giving a statement/order, or asking a question, or exclaiming.
