Lesson 5 What Is a Sentence? A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete thought. Here is a sentence about the girl in the picture below. She is asleep. Look at this sentence again.

She is asleep. A sentence always begins with a capital letter.

Here are some more sentences. Circle the capital letter at the beginning of each sentence. Circle the period at the end.
