If you see a lot of words when it’s time to write
Put them all together and make a SENTENCE, Sentence yeah!

I'm writing down the words in the right way,
lookin' for the words’ pathway
Heading for the sentence getaway
I got my pencil and I’m ready to write
You can’t stop me now
My grip is too tight
My teacher is ready, to help me learn
So hurry up and get your grammar face on!

A sentence is a group of words
That express a complete thought
A Sentence baby, A Sentence bay-bee.
A Sentence, Baby sentence
A Sentence, Baby Sentence

Start with a Captial letter
'cause that’s what you’re just supposed to do

Now don’t forget to put the right end mark:
Period, question or exclamatory, too

There’s always 2 parts
Subject and a predicate
Subject tells what or whom
Predicate tells what they do

A sentence is a group of words
That express a complete thought
A Sentence baby, A Sentence bay-bee.
A Sentence, not a fragment
A Sentence, not a fragment

Tell’n and a ask’n, giv’n and express’n
Four types are workin
You better keep it goin’
The whole class shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Declarative- tell ‘em with a period
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Imperative- ORDER with a period
Music Break-

Interrogative- no question there
Exclamatory- exclamation YEAH!!
My teacher is ready, to help me learn
So hurry up and get your grammar face on!

A sentence is a group of words
That express a complete thought
A Sentence baby, A Sentence bay-bee.
A Sentence, Baby sentence
A Sentence, Baby Sentence
