Jumbled Sentences
Category : 9th Class
Introduction
Rearrangement of sentences or paragraph anagrams is the most commonly seen question in any language testing examination. It is interesting to know that this question does not examine any previously learnt concepts, neither is it based on any particular logic.
A group of words or a word making a complete sense is called a sentence. Every sentence may be divided into two parts: Subject and Predicate. The Subject is a word, or a group of words that denotes the person or thing about whom or which something is said. It must be a noun or a noun-equivalent, and may consist of any number of words.
The Predicate is a word, or a group of words that denotes what is said about the subject. It must contain at least a finite verb, expressed or understood. For example: My brother has gone. (My brother = Subject; has gone = Predicate) The boy who did it is my brother. (The boy who did it = Subject; is my brother = Predicate)
