 What I Need to Know
In this Module, you will recognize sentences and non-sentences.
It is important to learn this lesson so that you will be given a clear
understanding that a non-sentence is a group of words that does not
express a complete thought while a sentence expresses a complete
thought.
In our day to day conversation, we commonly use non-sentence
expressions and yet, our message is still understood by others but in
order to express completely, we need a sentence. Thus, both of these
are equally important to be learned.
At the end of the lesson, you are expected to recognize
sentences and non-sentences.

punctuation mark such as period, question mark or exclamation point.
