The sentence. I Compare the groups of words in the left-hand column with those opposite to them in the right-hand column of the following table we shouted loud the King of France went up the hill ants lay eggs where are you what strange things have happened here God save the King shouted loud the King of France ants eggs where are have happened here God the King Each of the groups of words in column I makes sense, but the groups of words in column I1 do not make sense. The words shouted loud do not tell us who shouted the words the King of France do not tell us anything about the King of France. In the third group we hear the words ants and eggs, but we are not told anything about ants or eggs, for instance whether ants lay eggs, or eggs produce ants and so forth. This difference is expressed by saying that the groups in column I are sentences and the groups in column I1 are not sentences. DEFINITION.A sentence is a group of words which makes sense.
