the sentence is by far the best part of human life! It is the formation for everything that we do and the best possible way for us to understand the world around us. i give high praise to the sentence. Without it, life would be dreary. [Michelle] I love this prison where are the salons? who took my fruit cup where is the bath house? Run on, I love a parade of.. sodomites [frankdog] phrase He spoke deliberately, as if the fate of the world hung on every word he said. When he had finished, the assembled soldiers looked at him with blank expressions. This was it. The final battle. a group of words that say so much and is used so often... can fit so much in one... can make or break with one... can hurt or please with one [trish] well, this is funny because i'm going to write this in sentences. this website makes me think of all the other meanings for these words. like a sentence is in a paragraph, or a life sentence, or probably something else that i can't think of because that bar is moving at the top, distracting me. anyway, i find that sometimes i use run-on sentences and people criticize me for them. but then they're really not run-ons. go me. hi, red bar. [holly] One sentence is enough to fill a book. A very small book, granted. But still. It can be meaningful and outrageous and amazing. It can break your heart. It can mend it. It cn be amazing. Only one sentence. [kymber] One sentence is enough to fill a book. A very small book, granted. But still. It can be meaningful and outrageous and amazing. It can break your heart. It can mend it. It cn be amazing. Only one sentence. [kymber] This is a sentence. [JB] it is actually hard to write a non-sentence... I have tried. Even remembering the "rules". try it. [syd] a VERB AN D A COMMA ARE OFTEN PARTS OF A COMPLETE SENTENCE. all capitals are not necessary in any sentence. Maybe sentence should be shorter? Maybe some people should learn to form a proper sentence. Are my sentences complete? Do they form a thought? Will someone grade this for me and send it back to me like my 2nd grade teacher did with a get well soon card. I have no idea. Can I write for sixty second non stop? is there a timer on this. A dentence must contain a noun and a verb. I have n idea [A] fourteen hundred-odd years was the length of the sentence read out to frank boobsix for his admirable crime of talking to his wife. in 3872 any communication besides telephathy was illegal. [lee] I can write a very long run on sentence for such a long time that it will just keep going on and on even if I feel like it should stop somewhere, but it doesn't it just keeps on going on longer and longer. [Mikelyn] could be a grammatical device or could be a personal incarceration (sic) which would be very defeatist to personal enjoyment which requires freedom. grammar is just boring so i chose the other meaning for interest sake is my time up? why am i still typing if the timer has stopped Stuck in this sentence a mess of incoherent verbs I need some punctuation [bailey] What is my sentence ? 10 years ? 20 years ? [Fed] This is the first sentence. It's not very profound, in fact, it is the kind of utterance that only Captain Obvious could get away with. This is the third sentence. For this poor excuse of a paragraph, I must beg repentance. [Debra] sometimes i run out of them. i dont know where to find a single original one of them. they're illusory, like some kind of smoke cloud. they all look the same from a distance but how do make them different up close and personal? i struggle every day to find a way to make them my life and every day i disappoint myself with them. [cate] My sentences are smart and stupid at the same time. It is like that with everything. I love the buddha. Where will I go then...? [igor] incomplete... exactly how might one determine a sentence? is it by the words used, or merely how bad one has been, or a bad use of words? the sentence for a sentence is probably a period of time in which one is forced to sacrifice his or her liver, intestines, colon, and semi-colon. what a detrimentally morbid sentence. [heather] this is one. [amber] This is the basic part of speech. All of grammar is encapsulated in it. Everything that can be said in the world finds its home here. One follows after another like so many cars on a train speeding for its destination which is communication. Will it reach the next station? Depends if anyone is listening. It begins with a space and ends with a space, sandwiched between a capital letter and a punctuation mark. [Kit] Is a collection of words that make a certain sense. Used in communication, written or spoken. Science - syntax. Preferably grammatically correct. the words above explain the word within or rather the group of them assembled, cobbled with syntax and grammer, grammar, how many can fit in a single one without a full sto [123] wow, a sentence is a composition of what we humans call words. Some would say it's a beautiful thing that we have evolved to have written communication, although a sentence I guess could also be spoken. It's a structure, a pattern with rules. Perhaps though these rules are being more broken everyday with new speak. Language is forever evolvent and so is the sentence. I'm the best person in the world because i know what I'm able to do and not. it's not always easy to understand the meaning of some happening inn the world but it's always crucial to identify with them and make a profit conclusion for you then you can get the most of it by getting the essential without knowing and without any perception. i know everything. do you know everything? how do you know? in this world we face a lot trouble and e don't realize the severity of the trouble over our daily life. [Juca] is all it takes. To change the world, someone's life, to make a decision that changes everything. Words are not just empty things we say, they are the tools of life. what the hell am i supposed to type? [alex] the basis for our grammar and our thoughts. Sentences are what we build conversations and stories on. They are the legos of our imagination, you put them together and they can create worlds, adventures or abstract things that only we as the builder can understand. It is with sentences that we create [Sean] -sentence him to death. it is the only thing he deserves. -Seriously, just look at the mess he made of that cat. and with a rolling pin too. the man's a menace.
-Oh, for heavens' sake. just shoot him already... -hippy fascist! [tom] He was setenced to the firey depths of hell. It was his punishment. A punishment worse than all possible torture on Earth. He was sent to the core, the core of the world, the core of pain, the core of life, the core of death. Was it worth it? Really? [Sarah] what is a sentence is it a string of words such as this, or is it a long time to be served, some would argue what the hardest of these two to finish is. A convicted murderer looking at years or a confused writer looking at a blank page, each wondering how they will complete their sentence [Adam] mother fucking bitch of a slut. my ipod froze and i don't know if it will work or if i have to send it back to apple. if i do it will be a un pleasant experience because i can't listen to music! i think it's been more than one minute but i'll still type. cunt a live appraisal of the untimely demise of loved ones. Why do we live in shame for what we have done when the good lord lets us onto the earth with so much love? IT is unfair for us to believe that we have done wrong against others, when the law is imposed by men who know no better. When the anarchistic beliefs come down who will be alone? i want to write a sentence im never good at the train of thought thing where you have to write at the tip of your toes, because the time is running out and it;s always running out like a sentence that that just doesnt want to come out i hate that your face is grey sometimes and that your mother is in jail her sentence is lame ass joke nick [nicolas] it automatically makes me think about grammar but given more time to reflect, a sentence is not always written, it can be spoken, it can be just kept in the mind. it is a thought that is given expression either verbally or in written form, then it becomes what we call a "sentence" with the parts of speech and all. [elise] either the most meaningless or meaningful thing you could write think do or be. a who what when where why and how to anyones knowing. a simple explanation to any question. a way of being a way of not being [melissa] The longest sentence that any prisoner has got is life imprisonment. It is rather absurd that a prisoner is sometimes prisoned for 3 life terms or 5 life terms. Does this indicate that we believe in reincarnation. We have more than 1 life? Does this sentence tell us that we have hope in another life? [andy] billiant to me and ugly in context is the friend who carries on without pause. as if no one else has anything to say. we all take our five minutes of fame. The desperate when you are not able to put in sentences your feelings… only misleading sentences, words, letters, signs that mean nothing… while your soul is bleeding for shout it out load for some kind of consolation, truthful and warm sentences, articulate it by the eye contact and not the vocal cords… [Poppie] Sentence is a wonderful word, full of s' and e's and n's,t's and even c's. YES... I declare to the world my love of "sentence" an ordinary machine meant to concisely state things like descriptions, conflicts, former state governors, dancers with no shoes. They also speak in these things that live only on paper, when it is exposed from the library shelves it is the combination of words to form a coherent thought it has different typrs of words and punctuation that help people understand the meaning of the thought being expressed. The sentence can be only a few words or long [rory] A sentence begins, but where does it end. At the dot? Or does the thought continue after the period? [Brenda] sentances are weird there how we comunicate our lives and make sense of these things called words. Funny how chosen carefully words can form sentances that can change our lives forever... Ok so 60 seconds is way too much time! [melissa] do you have the sentence to go on with what you were doing. don't stop. [Peter] sentence consist of my feelings sentence describe anything exist in the word. sentences will make me happy when i write some innovative sentences.i want to write some beautiful sentences having touch of romance and creativity.sentences make your knoweledge level high [Ankur] a sentence is a group of words placed together in a particlar order to explain something to other people i can't seem to finish any sentences because you keep cutting me. darn it. conversations with you. difficult. [ili] Well, I suppose one judges people by the sentances they write, and the words that they say. The lack of proper grammar maybe makes us judge a person more than the way in which they say it. Am I making sense? Is that not the point of what I'm trying to say? Don't judge me for the words oI write just the things I do. Thanks. [Paul] this is a thing that is necessary to everything that is written or said. if we didn't have a sentence we wouldn't have anything. so ya, there ya go, one more sentence. [Jordan] verb and subject [lawdogg] Sentences are the windows to ones soul. They make you express what you long to say and hear. they are a water of words that embrace the soul. Let them fill your empty spaces with loving strokes. [carla] once i had a dog neamed sentence. but i never knew how to keep him quite because all he would do was exclaim loudly in short little bursts of a bark, pathetic, really. one day,sentence ran away...i didn't really like that dog that much so i told him to run on, sentence, run on. lush green serene [sabir h] not many, but just enough to fill the time. she awoke one morning, hair in front of her eyes, feeling used and forgotton in the morning dew. rising, she walked slowly down the forest path till she reached a small stream. Bending to get a drink, or maybe to wash the dried blood from her face, she caught sight of her haggard reflection [will] I'll write one if you want me to. All you had to do was ask, not even that nicely. Really? All you want is one? Cause I could give you several, right. In fact, here are several. [Chris] I remeber the first time I learned about a sentence. I was in first grade, and my teacher, Mrs.Pat Baker, explained to my class what made up a sentence. I also remember in kindergarten my uncle helped me with homework in writing sentences. Now, I am in college, and I have to write sentences all the time. I have to write sentences in my articles, essays and even sports recaps for the Daily Trojan or the Santa Monica Daily press. [Jon] Sentence one consisting of a subject and a verb i assume well of course or else it wouldn't be a sentence at all would it I have a lot better concept of senstnces now that i have taken that stupid grammar class....curse it [CB] one sentence to live in the air, the water, on earth. your crumbling stare has decreed, as you give your all, and learn to fall.
[ramdom] A sentence is a line of words flowing out of the mind of the author. It is the length of time a prisoner must endure. Some people are prisoners of a writers words, the sentence is boredom. [Calvin] focus only on what you can control and ignore any thing else. [Mohamed] he was sentenced to life. he had until an indeterminable amount of time until death to sort through this mass of information and to make some sense of it with his five tools: sight, smell, taste, touch, thought. it seemed to him, at times, to be hopeless, futile. to uncover meaning or to create it? [quinn] the unit of language formed arbitrarily. a structure, a window pane of meaning. abrupt. stop. construction of thoughts use commas, periods. i will write one sentance. then another. the page will grow fuller and fuller. finally more pages. a book. a book the size of a house. all out of sentances. words. letters. punctuation. so much involved. so little time. [coco] Sentences are made up of words. They can be good and bad. [Erin] Ha. This is a very self-involved word to write about. Sentence? Unless of course, one thinks of a sentence in relationship to things like "life in prison" or "death." Those sentences carry a little more weight, I would say. [neat] i hate writing sentences. sentences are stupid. what's a sentence. noun. verb. adjective. adverb. pronoun. common nouns. proper nouns. subject. predicate. sentences don't make sense. who came up with grammar. i hate grammar. i hate english. english sucks. english people suck. grammar sucks. [Chelsea] I read that writing a novel is really all about writing a good sentence and then another and another. Eventually if you put enough good sentences together you might have a novel. It would probably be best if you tried to keep them all on topic, maybe. [Alice] I've never thought about dying in such a way where my head explodes into a thousand pieces. It seems interesting to me. Maybe I would become famous if I knew everything. Or maybe I would just be disliked. What do you think? That's what I thought....you don't think. I don't think. [cooper] How many sentences can I fit into this little exercise? How about a life sentence? A cell full of writing, imagine that. A life behind bars, and the only freedom is my pen and paper. Perhaps I'll dream my way out, waking up...awakening. In one sentence you could tell someone how important they are to you. How much you care and love them and how when you're with them the day just seems to brighten. In one sentence I could tell you I love you. But in another sentence, you could break my heart. [Violetta] sentence is a composition of words that mean nothing and everything at the same time, our expression on this here earth but we cannot possibily express what we do not know yet, and if we know we express in other ways, but at the same time words can be the most powerful form of expression, how bittersweet and wonderful this world that we are and we continue to be forever. we are the universe always and forever, to remain a part sentence, what is a sentence? words dont really mean anything. I would rather look into your eyes. [stefania] a sentence is a little thing that can mean alot. it can have the power of a sword and its too late to take it back when its out. it can be used to make the world better or wrse and it all depands on who or where it came from [nikki] Sentances are overrated. I really hate them. They make me think of words, and word counts, and then they make me think of my Journalism 200 class. This class was hell. I had to write and write. But I loved it. Which sounds screwed up. But it's true. Ahhhhhh!!!! A sentence is the form of my thoughts placed down in such a way that another person can share my thought from a removed perspective. They will have the ability to recreate the thought, but without the benefit of context they are likely to miss the greater meaning. The greater meaning is what I make of it. [Jason] a sentence is a structure of words put together to resemble what is to be something. s e n t e n c e sentence, sentence, what is yours? mine is simply modified to begin the thinking process. [april] the last sentence that i read was in my philosophy book. It was plato. I am not a big fan of Plato, but realize that he is indeed a great philosopher, and questions my own religious preference. sentences are about whatever you're trying to construct and whatever it is you're trying to construct it is the manifestation of whatever it is that has accumulated within you over years of experience, heartache and random foundry lined up for you to discover yourself and bla and bla and bla and womens panties in vending machines. [noise] משפט זה שבו משתמשים בו על מנת להעברים מסרים, כמובן אם הבנתי נכון את הדבר שצריך להגיד. [smoke] Sentences are the structure of paragraphs which create novels which transform the minds of millions. Sentences are the structure of writing. They can be simple. They can be long and ridiculous. They can be phenomenally mind blowing. They can create perceptions and destroy them as well. [Karissa] I guess it was a long time before I realized that my teacher had been staring at my for the last five minutes. Did we have an assignment I didn't hear her mention? Turning about the classroom, I observed as every student around me scribbled furiously on their papers. A paper with thirty-seven sentences due by the end of class. I got to work. Sentence life is like a prison sentence that can't be changed. it's like a board game where you are the game piece and the things that happen around you are the obstacles. all day every day... work, make money, spend money, pay bills, work. it never ends. until that fantastmic thought of retirement, but even then, it never ends until you die. we're all given this sentence and we all must finish it naturally. [nikki] GO. Simple and commanding. True and understood. [WhoLa] the weirdest word. What made it SENTENCE? What does it really mean. It has no other meaning but sentence. Quite odd. No nasty connotations. Nothing....it'd just odd. Thoughtless word. Boring. when thinking about it...It just doesnt make sense. [aly] A sentence, the building blocks upon which novels, plays, and stories are built upon. The utmost important of a sentence in the English language, is like oxygen to humans. Have you ever read one sentence that changes your life entirely? I believe that you can find so many answers in one sentence, but at the same time you can have so many that mean absolutely nothing. It's all about the connotations...which is odd because it is all just a battle of semantics... [Rini] The one word. Its meaning has been lost in the edges of time, and through the muddled history of humanity. Yet, the search frantically continues to find the meaning of this one word. This sentence thinks we hate it. My professor taught me that sentence a while back. He told me he spent an entire semester doing nothing but analyzing that sentence. Think about it. There's so many questions that it raises. How did grammar obtain self-consciousness? And why would we hate it? Furthermore, that sentence couldn't exist except to state the fact that it exists. How did it come into being? That sentence still keeps me up at nights. [Matt] a sentence is the ultimate expression of humanity. with it we can be people up or we can tear them down. we can bring a sparkle into someones life or throw them down the crapper. it is what makes us human. [Lee] A sentence is like a whole string of words all together and what you're going to be spending the rest of your life serving. Goddamn it. I knew this would happen. The expectation to close off nouns with verbs and periods and all that shit. This ain't no way to get by as a real G. How can I call myself a gangsta if grammar still got shit on me? I got a bust a cap in this sentence and then all's gonna be solved. [Tom] I don't like the word sentence. I can never think of the proper sentences to say at given moments. I'm always stuttering, or speaking in short, awkward, nonsensical fragments. It makes me cringe. I think I'm more eloquent on paper than I am with speaking. Sentence. Ugh. I'm not sure what else to say. That timing bar is making me nervous for some reason. [Panda] you can write a sentence. words form together to make a long line that makes sense when you read it. it consists of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. a sentence generally starts with a capital letter and ends with a period or exclamation mark. [amanda] in one sentence you can describe anything in the world. it can be useless or the most important sentence you'll ever utter. "that tree is far away." "i'm in love with you and want to marry you." it's all in whatever you stick before that period. that's the difference. [lea] thi sentence is simple. It has nothing to do with what is in my head. The word should not have been a noun. It should have rather been an adjective or something that would spark emotion or memories. I cant think of a single person who wouls have something menaingful to write about the word 'sentence'. Unless they are a poet, which I am not. [Carly] I find myself in incomplete. Never quite. Just the substance of what. [Crawford] one sentence...that's all you get. [katy] there have been so many sentences written by me that repeat themselves over and over again. i've been looking through old sketchbooks and all i can see are the same words. how many times can i say the same thing in 20 different sentences? am i that unoriginal? what is it going to take to make me create something new? even this, this is a repetition. [Sophia] there are only so many sentences possible. yet i have never run out of them. but somewhere in the back of my mind i fear the day i have expressed every possible thought in my brain. a few moments ago i sent a rather unwitty message to a girl with whom i have a good track record of wit and am ashamed, i ran out of sentences i guess. [CJ] i love life, everything about it is beutiful and bright. illusions mask everything, and i intend to find truth in everything and notheing all at once. [Jeff] life is full of sentences. promises. visions. images. things can start from here. things can end here, too. they can be sweet. they can be painful. at the end of the day, a sentence are made up of words. [kate] these things are too long. when the wordcs come forward, the punctuation just stopped everything like gravel on a freeway traffic arrest. The trucks of my fingers run out of diesel and the way that I want to push gthe keys further and further up the ramp pf this laptop surface makes me realize that the sentence itself is no more than a lane in the highway. What is a line? there are many words in a sentence, or sometimes not many. the things that can be said in a sentence are endless. Words can flow out of you like river flowing from a mountain spring. A sentence can be about anything. it can be about love. It can be about hate. The time it takes to write a sentence, youve said everything you need to say. What is a sentence? A sentence is a mixture of many words, placed so that it has logical meaning. A sentence is comprised of many parts, most of which are not thought about when writing. For example, sentences are made of nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. A sentence is made of clauses, which are made of subjects and predicates. As confusing as this may be, I'm still writing as though the parts of a sentence have no importance. And yet, they have a great importance. [mitali] sentence [jen] a sentence consists of a subject and a verb. Sentence can be long or short or hairy or inquisitive. Hanging upside down or being electrocuted can also be considered a sentence, depending on your grammar or what country you reside in. I often feel like sentences are misconstrued. [Candace] sentence its the basic founFARTFARTFARTFARTFART [DAVE] Typing of a sentence. It is the structure and foundation of all language. Without a complete thought verbs and adjectives fly alone. Without the sentence pronouns aren't pro's anymore. Without sentence structure falls apart and life goes by the wayside. The sentence is green. The sentence is plentiful. Lets make a sentence today! A sentence is like artwork. It can be assembled beautifully and become a masterpiece. It can also be misused and be misundterstood. [Peter] what, a sentence. again and again i get this word. and everytime i see it, something different springs to mind. sentence. so wonderful they are. they are the constructions of our literal world, the basic fundamentals. everything we think, speak, write, love, hate, is put down in a sentence. complete or incomplete a sentence is a sentence. wonderful really. again i end like that. [Taylor] i am having a hard time putting together something to describe this ever so simple word. but, look at that, i just assembeled what it is i am trying to write about. a sentence. that's so awesome. they're everywhere and in so many varieties. long ones, short ones. cool ones, uncool ones. funny ones, sad ones. everything you nee to know is always in a sentence. it's wonderful really. what more can you ask for? [Taylor] sentences are constructed with words hahaha what a funny coincidence considering the nature of this game... words words words blah blah blah. its all the same! [benjamin] As soon as I finish this sentence, you will move onto the next story down the line, each one about a sentence, each one giving you a tiny glimpse into the minds of the writer, whether it be eloquent or blunt, clever or dull, angry or cheerful, you will go on and read so many more when I finish this sentence. [Cina] The perfect sentence is often hard to come up with. There's always so much to say and so many ways to phrase what needs to be said. What if I don't choose the right words? What if I don't get across what I wanted? Suspended in a paragraph. Read a lone can mean nothing, or could mean anything. [Hope] A sentence is a collection of words that doesn't need to make sense. A sentence can also be a jail term. A collection of sentences makes up a paragraph. This sentence I am writing now may not get finished. Well, it's funny how sentences are the basic units of communication and yet so many people can't seem to string them together in ways that are even remotely functional. Paragraphs are also a whole other story, I have problems with them myself. It's hard to maintain a topic long enough to squeeze around 8 or 9 sentences... Which brings me back to sentences again, the main word... [Kyle] I have to write a sentence. Death sentence? Is that spelled differently? My back hurts. Ya know, I'm on this week long juice fast. What else. My birthday's soon. I love Max von Sydow. Oh shit it's turning red. Yeah shit. oh fuck. mhhfhfhfh. Claire Lucido Yes thats me Reminds me of Hemingway's one-sentence short story of baby shoes for sale. Never worn. It's alot of meaning in a single sentence, and I think that's what a good sentence does. It implies more than it states directly, and it can tell you the meaning of the entire world in a small set of words. A good sentence is a result of a mastery of a language, and of a mastery of feeling. In a single sentence, I could explain to you all that I am. But I never will. [Grace A.] its a beutiful thing full of grace and agony, has the chance to desrtoy the world and create love. childs simplicity complexity of the universe. [andrew] This is the second time I've gotten sentence. It's even more boring this time. How about flowers? Let's talk about flowers instead. At least they look good. And smell good. [Joe] what's there to say about sentence that's interesting at all? I guess it is the basis for all thought-profound, humorous, or otherwise. Hmmm...never thought about it before. I think it's a pretty boring word actually. Well time's out. Now what? [Joe] I didn't know what this was going to do and now i' have to forma stntence or maybe this word was my sentence maybe there isn't enought imagination to actually form a story about this maybe it's just me and my sentnce to wonder what to write abut forever. Should I continue and see if i have anything worthy or do i just go [Ashley] A sentence is a very important tool for writing. Without it, your thoughts become rambling and disjointed. Can you imagine life without sentences? When would you know the other person was done talking? We'd all be leaving in the middle of the other person talking because, like, how do you know they're done? [Celly] sentence. I wonder why I'd write a sentence about a sentence. I looked at it for too long and forgot how to spell it. Odd how that works. Amazing how the mind warps under pressure, under the influence of a lack of time. I find I don't have any more to say. I think sentence is a word without a connotation; you can't infer any feeling from it. Time is almost up. [Sazuka] A sentence can describe an object, tell a story, a lie or the truth. [Donna] One word is a sentence? Sentence of time in prison or sentence meaning a complete phrase beginning with a capital letter and ending in a period? I've been sentenced to writing for sixty seconds about a sentence. Oh my, my brain is dry ... [Bob] with a sentence you can creat so many things. [Caitlyn] Michael Huckaby's sentence was long. He committed a terrible crime. Worse, he felt no regret. The jury said he could spend less years if he confessed and plead guilty to all of his crimes, but he still refused to do it. [LAURA] this is my time. this is what what I have to do. I don't like it, and I don't understand it, but I know that I deserve it. now I just need to learn how not to [Shaben] The sentence is a sentence is a sentence. Long or short locked up strings of time and place. In and out, bars and walls and participles. Words and bricks, bricks and words. Words of bricks and bricks of words. Trapped. Freed. Open, shut. Closed, open. Prison, freedom. [Jay] its a bunch of words. i can be silly. it can be genius. it all depends on how you put it together, like a sculpture. it's only as good as its parts and its creator. [nicole] I've never written a complete sentence. All of my sentences never seem to have that sense of finality that most complete sentences should have. They're all fragments and pieces. Unfinished. Unraveling. Those sentences need to be dealt with. [Margg] a collection of words. punctuation and capitalization. words string together to give each other meaning. [mike] A professor at my university recently published a humor column about ridiculous statements in student papers: "These Sentences Should Be Sentenced." The column ran in the school paper and contained two typographical errors. [Karyn] Life is not a sentence. Life is an education, a chance for liberation, a chance for the expansion of consciousness and the end of seeming duality. A sentence is a sentence is a sentence to death if you forget to use a noun. There is not enough time in the world to come up with a single sentence to describe exactly the way he destroys my confidence and plants a bomb in my heart. [Angela] wow, i'm trapped. can't get out. this really sucks, how did I end up here. learning grammar bites. [amanda] The thing about life is you just can't take it seriously; for example, when you get yelled at for doing something stupid you should just take it in stride and not get all worked up, because if you did then you'd be like me because when I get yelled at I just start throwing things around and getting all fussed up and I JUST WANT TO KILL SOMEBODY SOMETIMES but that's not the appropriate thing to do, so I just wanted to take some time to say that to you before you do something stupid, like I'd do. [tonyg] oh the sentences! In the last week I have written more sentences than I'd like to admit to and still they aren't the right ones. [Katy] A single sentence is all there is that separates one idea from another. [tk] Apparently I'm supposed to write a sentence in this box that I see before me. A little bit of existentialism? I'm writing about the very medium, the very composition of what I'm writing about, or something snazzy like that. Sentences are so definite. So assertive. No questions, no musings, no wonderings. A sentence implies a command. A sentence is rude. A sentence is being a dick. I prefer [Sean] A sentence can seemingly go on forever, it can go on for never. It might continue for years, for ages, for decades, for millenia. Or it can end. "I am" is the shortest sentence in the human language. Imagine reading "I am" over, and over, and over again. Or imagine reading something completely separate. The English language tends to frown upon run-on sentences. Why? Why can't they continue on, like perpetual motion, travelling onward and onward into nothing and everything? [May] The only thing I hate about the structure of the sentence is the period. It's nonchalant. It's casual. It's ordinary. I wish I could end my sentences with explosions. I wish I could end them with feathers. Anything but this drab old period. A dot to end the profundity of a human thought. Aristotle had to use periods. Aristotle needed more than periods. i am writing a sentence about the word sentence. i dont really understand wht? this makes little sense. can i have an apple. my girlfriend wont talk to me and im sad. i brought her flowers and shes not mad at me i just wanted to do something nice. i love her so much [Jerry] The basicness of language. Okay, well not basic but more like the second basic. Sentence, the other basic. Without it, how can we ace high school essays? Or sound pretentious? Fragments are the evil twin. [Brendan] part of a thought. a written thought. Hopefully it doesn't ramble. And it will make sense. Short is better than longer. I hate the ones with 5 commas in them. Some people can't complete a sentence. some can't string two together, like our current U.S. President. Why did I get such a boring word. Sentence could refer to a prison sentence. write a sentence with periods and commas and other forms of punctuation. with good grammar and other things in a sentence that i can't really think of right now, but i guess i'm writing in sentences right now so i'll just keep on doing for the next few senteces that remain in this game. i wonder wwhat the point of this game really is? i dont know. we'll see in five, four, three, two, one...ha no it didn't happen i don't have such good timing. sentence. writing a letter or reading a book. i word kate ressel spelled wrong in a spelling be. complete or incomplete. grammar impedes. i love tom robbins' sentences. imaginative and strange. these are incomplete sentences. not even any capitalization. and incorrect punctuation [Amber] the structure of the sentence - allowing thoughts to become visual to the reader. simple words are transformed into concepts, visualizations, and even calls to action. [rick v] a Sentence is what makes life interseting, they can make things better or worst depending on the situation. [Kass] "Ah man. So this is it?" [daz] "Jimmy,use the word,'European' in a sentence." a sentence can mean very very different things. one is a brief statement, often with a verb, a noun, and hopefully some other interesting bits. a jail sentence is dramtically more hairier, and can be quite lengthy. i hopefully will never have one. i don't like jail all that much, to be honest. I don't want to write about the word sentence. A statement. A declaration. It could be saying absolutely anything at all, and I have no interest in assigning it a purpose or opinion. FUCK THAT SHIT [morgan] a sentence is something that expresses how people feel, whether in negative or positive connotation. An amazing tool, used in languages by millions, billions of people. Without the sentence, the world probably wouldn't be what it is today. And maybe that's a good thing. [Meagan] i am writing this word sentence because it makes me feel good and it was taught to me at the first grade and i know what it means and i can form them at at rapid speeds and i can speak about them on this website because it is quite useless unless i know what i am really doing because my keyboard has a letters and sentences can be formed with them and i like to eat pizza and there that is a sentence. [xdviper] Sentence is the basic organizational construct of human written langauge. It is what provides the basic structure for transferring a single cogent idea to another human being, without having to use physcial example or maniupulation. the sentence allwos a thinking being to convey with a pure mental image the idea in someone elses brain. I re-read the sentence for what seemed to be the 50th time. "Will you shut up already?" I demanded, "I'm trying really hard to read." He stopped mid-word--I think he was saying something about the bird out the window--and sat sullenly in the chair. [Jenn] ONE WORD???HMMM, AND YOU EXPECT ME TO WRITE ABOUT THIS. WELL MY FAVORITE WORD IS..NO THATS STUPID. UM I LIKE CHESE, WHO AM I KIDDING I HATE CHESE. OH WAIT WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE WORD, SO YOU GUYS LIKE WORDS. WORDS ARE FUN, YOU CAN TALK WITH THEM! THE WORD THAT SAYS "ONE WORD" IS IN HALF IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING.......HMMMMMMMMMMMM....OK WELL, 1 WORD...WOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. THE BEST WORD EVER IS ELEPHANTENAGALOAGIQUEW...I DONT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS, BUT ITS COOL! [LaLa Loo] A sentence is not based on phonemes or morphemes. It is not a system or a structure. It is an array of ideas that arise from the spirit of the speaker. Langauge syntax is only the way that cognition could frame such thoughts. [David] sentence ... time's nearly half up, and what have i said? not much. i've written a few sentences. that's kind of neat, i guess. now it's turning orange, that's never good -- oh no time's up [asd] period. [rebecca] What is in a sentence, but words. What are words but nothing if not together in a sentence. You can not have one if there is no other, and you need the other to have the one.
[Jennifer] I am going to write a normal typical sentence that a million other people are going to write something similar to it. My sentence is different though, since it was written by a person with a bajillion problems and issues that can be resolved easily, but laziness won't help it get any better. Also, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. We all need sentences. Or do we? Could we communicate with just one word at a time ? Or not words at all ? Isn't that where evolution is leading us, anyways? To totally telephathic communication? At least that way no one will be misunderstood, or will they? [Joy] The word sentence conjures up two words for me, fragment and "run on". I was never really good at writing. So when my teacher would tell us to write and make sure all sentences were complete. Soon I would get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I knew my paragraph would come back with lots of red marks and symbols and a less then average grade. [p] It was short, only a few words, but they rang so true as to question the meaning of existence. This was no ordinary line, no simple measure of syllables that were strung together to make sense. This changed the existence of my entire reality. The thing about sentences is that they don't have a limit, or any other constraining rules..THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO MAKE SENSE! It's awesome. Writing is the lifeblood of any group of people, especially under the age of 50. We all do it, several times a day and times like these are beautiful [Elan] sentences are the web that hold swords togther to make sens eof the world. words are concepts in title. [Faleoh] I can write a sentence. I can write a lot of sentences. I can't promise anything articulate or profound, and it may or may not be void of grammatical errors. But I swear on my life, there will be a sentence at the end of this page. And it will be mine. [Jamie] a sentence is just a list of words put into a phrase or statement, to pread understanding, information, or an emotion, to a broad spectrum of people. its a shame people cannot look at a sentence and see through it. up the punks!!! [sean] Just one word John, one freakin word, no sentence no books no nothing. Tell me the word and the girls won't die. You'll be a hero and everyone will love you. [Jer] sentence. a sentence is a bunch of words grouped together to make a sentence. Its part of grammar. But i suck at grammar. As you can see so i give up, thanks though [kelsey] I dont see any word on the top of the page other than "sentence". I guess I am suppose to write about sentences. OR maybe just write a sentence, and Im guessing that most of these sentences are grammatically wrong to begin with. So with that being said, my time is running out. [Sarah] I sentence you to verbs: act, do be. [justino] a sentence is an abundance of words thrown together in an orderly fashion to achieve grammatic accuracy. what a bore. an abundance of ideas without a period in between suits me better. [mary s] A sentence contains what could be from few to many words, all pointing to one general subject. A sentence could say nothing, or it could say everything. For instance, "I like cheese," is a pretty useless sentence, stating the fact that one likes cheese. "I love you," is a pretty heavy sentence. No one quite knows what that one means. [haley] a sentence is a string of words that try to have some meaning. depth can be found if you know where to look. dont take a sentence for face value. you have to look at the emotions behind the words. sentence [amanda] what you say. a statement. your opinion. your thoughts. a line. in every language. your beliefs.your feelings. [cody] Continuing on word after word, he typed. Sentence by sentence, mistake after mistake. He could not take it anymore... The structure, the phrases... [Jenny] this is what i do...write things. one word leads to lots. this is how i summarize it all in one group. a group of words, and line and an expression of everything i want to say. make it all true. make it all one. words together. tell soemthing, tell life. tell words in aline. say it now. [Mollie] Well in one scentence I would say today was a waste of food, water, and bothering to sleep last night. I could have not slept, and then yesterday would never have ended, erasing the need for today. 12 years 12 years of my life 12 years of my life [Hadley] i was thinking that the point of writing in sentences is ridiculous. The structure hurts my heart. The punctuation suffocates me. I don't know how to react but to do it wrong. My form my rebellion! one thought outloud. [bob] WORDS COMBINED TOGETHER I LIKE SENTENCES CONVERSATIONS FAMILY LOVE WOMEN SUGAR ORANGE BOX COMPUTER LETTERS i love to write sentences to relate my thoughts of the day [steven] is there any other prompts? i hate sentences. [sarah] sentences are structures that the mind creates and the mouth or fingers put out into the elements. i hate sentences. there always so damn structured. grr. it pisses me off.. i wish everyone could just talk without speaking, cause then people would never sound dumb. grr. [sarah] A complete thought. Rare, since no one seems to be able to finish their sentences these days, no one really says their full opinion. [madi] There was never a sentence so sweet as the one he wrote to me that sunday morning before we had a chance to speak. He wrote it on th mirror, using my lipstick.. his chicken scratch in red on my reflection. It was so simple, yet so kind. And then he left. I don't know if in my head I've ever had a thought that was a complete sentence. Rather, they're all one giant run on, or maybe just a series of segments. Either way, the grammar is atrocious, but that's just me. [Adrienne] a long one. That's dismal, like. I didn't even do anything. [Ethel] If you are sentenced to death, you could be castigated (punished severely.) Also, sentences are awesome because if we had no sentences I could write sentences about sentences. [Koto] This is a sentence [Keren] A sentence is what you use to communicate. Its a string of WORDS that helps mankind understand one another. Without sentences we would be similar to animals and their communication. Not impossible. Just different. [Whitney] i'M supposed to right about the word sentece. How interesting. Because Im writing multiple sentences about this word. I wonder if, when a man is sentenced to death, if he ponders the meaning of the connection between the two words. Is there a connection? They are spelled the same.. [Kristin] a sentence can be whatever you want it to be. It can be love, joy, pain, hearbrake, amusement, the most spine-tingly beautiful thing you have ever laid your eyes on our the dullest, most trite and pragmatically informative peice of communication. the sentence can [George] A sentence must contain a verb and a puncuation mark. I should also say something ...important...since it has so many rules to follow, it should at least be imporatnt [ATMarti] a sentance is some stupid shit they tell you about in school i remember in second ish grade i had to write sentaces with vocab words and i hated it. i almost never did it and i always hated writing out the word sentance because back then it seemed so long but that's how i memorized how to spell it...just writing it over and over for my homework once every week. and i just realized that was a couple really long sentances cause i didn't really bother to punctuate. [Andrew] sentenced home is a great film that i made about deportation [David] It is just one sentence that will give the man his sentence that may last his whole life, or worse. That one sentence may be his death sentence. [Fuf] a sentence is a structure of words put into an order that is understandable. Everyone uses sentences in order to communicate, although some people seem like they don't have the capacity of the brain to be able to conjure up a sentence and instead use singular words, often like grunting [Miki] words escape me all the time, now I need to come up with a whole sentence! How do I know what I write is worth reading? [naja] This is quite a sentence, actually. Look a sentence! Sentences make up written language. They make up paragraphs. A sentence should not be run-on, where it just goes on and on and on and on. Sentences have structure to them, they have commas sometimes, also colons and semi-colons. All sentences end in a period. [Jadey] one short little sentence can change everything. [jkg] i use them every day, you use them every day, i am one, verb noun adjective. It's all I need to tell someone, but it's too late to do so. It's all I need to hear sometimes. one sentence. one. one. one. [yvette] i guess the word is sentence, and oh what a word that is. sentences create our universe. they are the back bone of the infrastruction of knowledge and communication. they carry and hold together the thoughts that make up all of our knowledge. [matt] The sentence is gargantuan with implications of perceived perfection. [Andie D.] A life sentence? I can't believe I'll be stuck here all my life - but I've been wrong before. What a dismal thought. [hmmm] a sentence can sometimes be hard to write, especially when you are being timed and you have to write sentence about a sentence there are many types of sentences. there are run-on sentences, sentence fragments, there are sentences that are in multiple parts, and there are sentences that are comprised of two or more separate sentences. [anna] Life or Death. How long a person will be in jail. [Farron] This sentence is a sentence. As is that one. And this one. This one is a sentence; part of another sentence is embedded within it. Sentences are great. They allow the expression of ideas and thoughts. I didn't know where else to look. I look around...praying for familiarity. [tara] This is a sentence. I wonder how many other 'writers' started this oneword with that sentence? My brain is in a fog today. I oneworded to try to jumpstart the writing process. Instead I got the word sentence. Which is kind of taunting. Like, "Ha ha, go ahead, write a sentence." A sentence. Heh. This sucks. [marcee] A grouping of words. It can be used to amazing affect. It can state the obvious, inspire or depress. It is one of the many wonders of the world. [Lucy] this is a sentence. i like to frame sentences, people use sentences to express their feelings. different sentence mean different. a good sentence is what express the real meaning to what it is formed for. i do not play with sentences. [vikas] And at the end he realised that there was outside the door a woman for the entire duration of the time he had been writing this sentence waiting for her to be notices and as his pen moved he focused on the letters and words and she had skulked away not realising he was writing and thinking about nothing but her the whole time. There has always been a need to quantify everything in our lives. There are numbers, mathmatics, the universal language. How do we quantify Language? We have to break everything down. Books have chapters, chapters have paragraphs, and paragraphs have sentences. That is how it works. that is our nature... [Matt] Putting into words a full sentence can be, for some people, the easiest thing - and for others, the hardest. Personally, i've never experienced much problem with it. A full sentence shows the process of thought, no matter what about. Without stutter or stammer, a sentence can be considered successful. Much time time, it eventually has to finish. [Kate] A sentence is something that requires very little. Such as that one there required very little explanation. Sentence structure isn't complicated so I won't go into it here. I hope that isn't a problem. I' m supposed to write in sentences about sentences. They make up paragraphs and contain words. Adjectives, verbs and adverbs are in sentences. People speak in sentences, not always complete. [Erin] I hate writing sentences. I rather write just segments because I want to be a poet. Now I do write sentences when I write my lesson plans. I have to write out specific instructions in case I have a substitute in my class for that day. WQhen you must create, a sentance is where you start, it can describe anything you need. A sentance can be molded into a castle in England, or a jail in Iran. Wherever you need to go, a sentance can shape the path. Clink Metal bars shutting Isn't language weird? i mean how many different languages exist on this earth? and they are all, nothing but a jumbled assortment of noises, no one even pays attention to the words that are spoken, nor do we ever think about actually speaking, it just comes out. and sometimes, this is not a good thing. [jamie] Stick with your sentence i love sentence. i love to write a sentence. lots of them. i love to read a sentence or two. often. i often don't punctuate sentence correctly. i often say too many of them before letting someone else say a sentence. i love the idea of a sentence. i love an unfinished sentence. i love to end a sentence with an exclamation point. i love when people direct a sentence at me. i love when i can string several sentences together and make someone laugh or make someone happy or make someone feel better. even the word sentence is cool. sounds cool. looks official. what would we do without the sentence? i've loved sentence ever since we really got to know each other in 8th grade English class....... [Annie] A sentence is a bunch of words put together so that they make a coherent phrase. They can be very annoying to make, and should be avoided at all costs. Sometimes, however, this is not possible as mean teachers will force you to make them. [Theo] the once was a group of very lonely words floating about the universe. one day, a young woman named mmargaret decided to put them together in a group. The grpuop had profound meaning when read aloud or silently. She c [marco] is all it takes to change the world, change a life, destroy a life, destroy a world. one word. the right word. the wrong word. i've always felt that words wre important. in fact, i studied literature for 3 years because i recognise how important words are. words can change the world. ask jfk... martin luther king... barack obama... words are weapons of intelligent people. [mf] Sentence. I'm not really sure what sentence even truly means anymore, and the prospect of that scares me. I cannot fathom this word, this sentence, and I cannot complete my own sentence.... Or maybe I can. I guess I kind of had to in order to write that. But in my head that sentence isn't over, merely started and interrupted, and to me that makes each sentence precious and unforgettable and distinctly delicate, like a flower - a sentence flower. [alli] A sentence is a string of words to make a complete point. Funny thing is a lot of people dont complete sentences and leave phrases and fragments. I wonder why this is the case but I hope all my sentences are true and complete. Who writes about a sentence anyway? I guess I do. I thnk this is a goog way of practicing writing [Yink] a sentence isn't a hard thing to write. anyone can write a sentence. but can they write one that's going to mean something? can they write one that is going to change someones life? that is the question. if you can write one sentence, nothing more and nothing less, that can change someone's life, you are a true writer. as you can see, i cannot. [devon] a sentence is like a statement with a clasue, innit? Like, if one...thing, you end it with a full top or exclamation mark, so it make a little thing on its own that makes sense! See? So like 'the cat sat on the mat' is a sentence! [Abi] A sentence is a basic unit of grammar and communication. In English it must have a verb and a subject. It's easy to write a simple sentence and for some people, it is equally easy to write a run-on sentence. This sentence is about the word sentence. This is the first time I've written any sentences on this site. For a first word, this is kinda a crock. I belive that in order to make sense you need to make the sentence really pop and stand out. A sentence can be silly but also it can make a lot of sense if words are put in correctly. A sentence can be serious or funny, it is all on the reader. So go ahead and write a sentence and see where it takes you. [Damian] writing a sentance, it is complete, all grammar correct, dellusive it can be stupid, it has big words sometimes. used everywhere math story problems have sentences, it can be small, or e [zach] The second simplest structure in the realm of communication. They say "I am" is the shortest correct sentence in English. Is "I do" the longest? [Nat Yonc] He received a lifetime sentence for jaywalking. That's how he put it. He was walking along the street and then "bam". He was nabbed by the cops. He left out the shooting though. That would have had something to do with it. These sentences that I keep writing have no meaning because they will never fall under your eyes. [Scott] I don't know how to start this sentence. What kind of structure would be interesting to the reader. Should I start with a dependent clause, or maybe with an independent clause that is, basically, a simple sentence. maybe I should join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction and write a compound sentence. Would that be interesting? I don't know. This is the last sentence I can write. [Dan] is this one? [Hulda] A rambling thought, an entity unto itself. One theme. Short, sweet, to the point, run-on. Compound, messy, tidy, noun, verb, subject. Parts of speech. A period of time. [ginelit] a life sentence. a death sentence. what's the point of a life sentence in prison? I think I'd rather die than rot in a hole all day...maybe it's more of a punishment to stay alive and have all those years to think about how many people you hurt. yes, I'm talking to you, though you'll never know it. [chloe] what is a sentence? [jason] Sentence structure is very important when writing, either a novel or a short story or even a children's book. Sentence structure conveys the story and carries it along it's proper path...or not. A sentence has the power to set the tone for an entire story or kill it before it gets started. [Becki] my sentence was 25 yrs. It was for murder. That's right! Murder! All because I killed that banana split from Dairy Queen...not F'n Twisty Treat! I HATE Twisty Treat. They are next as soon as I get my dessert parole. [pete] length of time as a punishment for commiting a crime, group of words with subject and verb, orage sentence. I guess that means that the future is bright. I wish it is. [Me] This is a sentence, and this is another one, but now they are one and the same. It's kind of like love. Here is one person, and here is another, and now they are one. Once you take away all the dross and temptation and illusion in the world, pretty much all one is left with is love and things one does for love. Not that this always works out for the best for everyone. Goodness knows. [Erin] A sentence is a meaning made up of words. Words have meanings, too, and together they create a sentence. Sentences can be lost in translation because words are different in every language and the meanings are not the same. My sentences are written by me, yours by you. [L] Oh the crushing metaness. The gooey crushyness. The crunchy sentence-yness. Can a cereal be sensible and sensational? Can a luxury vehicle be affordable. Can a sentence by mild and tart. No, resounding no's. [asd] the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy white dog. [re do] sentence [kayla] five to ten years for armed robbery. what grammar is all about. what paragraphs are made of. good ones, complex ones, simple declarative ones. interrogative ones, exclamatory ones. sentences for one and all. compound, parallel, singing signing sighing sentences sentences sentences, amen. a sentence is something that tellsyou about something. A sentence can be happy, mean, or sad. You can express yourself throught sentec=nces, I relly like them. I am a very bad typer. See that is a sentence. I rteallly like doing htis, [melissa] the word sentence means more than you think. its an art form you get to decide what goes where and why. its for those who cannot draw or paint. a sentence is a thing of beauty if you can compose one correctly. in order to create a perfect sentence you must have a certin amount of skill. [Adi] Sentence? What a boring word. Why would I want to write about the word sentence. I deal with sentences all day. Give me something exciting. I don't want to write abut something I'm writing. I don't want to write about something I deal with all day. Give me something more poetic, please. Sentences are boring. Especially small ones. sentence. this is a sentence. a sentence is a line of words that means something. it can be something you are doing something you want to do or anything really. many sentences add up and become a paragraph or an essay or a book. [kelsey] sentence: something i hate to structure...I much prefer to ramble on without proper punctuation...so there... [jp] We never did learn how to diagram a sentence. My mother always thought this was an outrage, because apparently she spent a lot of time in middle school doing it, but I have yet to determine exactly what good the knowledge of how to diagram a sentence would be. Maybe I'd be miles ahead in life if I knew how to diagram a sentence.... [Freddie] ADDICTION IS A SENTENCE. I bought my freedom the day I decided to walk away. It took twelve steps and a conviction that I wanted to live. Today I am free of the self-imposed sentence. Free to finally live. [Sue] i LIKE LONG SENTENCES, i LIKE HOW THEY DON'T END THIS IS STUPID LIKE MATT IT IS GAY LIKE GARY GARY HAS TREMONDOUS BALLS GARRET LIKLES IT IN THE CAN TIM IS COOL MATT LICKS DOG SACK i CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME BE MORE PORDUCTIVE THAN YOU ARE AT THIS MOMENT BLACKS ARE LOSERS CHINESE PEOPLE HAVE SMALL COCKS INDIANS SMELL LIKE SHIT [TOM] there once was a very bad sentence who wandered into beautiful prose. like rudolph, he was shunned mericilessly and told to leave at once. the sentence remained firm and defiant. I have just as much merit and meaning as you do, you other meaningless strings of words! I perhaps mean more and affect more than any of you have the power to do. [caitlin] i hated having to write sentences on the blackboard but that's what miss. right always made us do when we did something that we shouldn't have, i don't think it was fair. [Rose H.] connect them together to creat storys and fairy tales to entertain people for ages they can be used to pass down history or tell the tale of a lonely boy who was adopted at the age of 6 and passed from foster home to foster home. a string of words that can have so much power over a person and so much meaning that it could make them cry, laugh , smile, or cringe. my sentence gos alot like this sentence [sunny] im typing a sentence right now, and as i see it, i should be satisfied that im doing any writing at all. i wish i had time to write more sentences, and put them together in a thoughtful flow, but rather, i enjoy coloring thoughts in my head, and letting them fester in there, rather than one paper, where they are so much harder to read [rachel] A sentence is a magical thing that can include a variety of things. Truths, lies, things of wonder and amazement, or things of sorrow and depression. Sentences can literally mean anything you want them to. And that is why a sentence is a very magical thing. [Robert] Sentence reminds me of my number, 10, which I wore this past weekend during a regional tournament. It doesn't really matter what sport I play, so don't worry, but today's word could have been anything and it'd remind me of that tournament. We lost in the most horrible way possible and our season is over. Specifically mine, which is over forever. i create sentences all the time.... every day.... [keena] sentence is a sentense. write if words. I really don't like this word. SENTENCE is so.. "sentença" in portuguese. I know beacause i'm brazilian =) cool isnt'it? sentences how do words form them how did they come to be. why do they matter so much, in school. as children we are taught to use complete sentences make it neat and tidy. life isn't neat and tidy so why do we need sentences. [gracie] "Sentence" -- I came here hoping for some sort of direction, some sense of where to go from here. "Sentence?" How is THAT helpful? Everything I write is a sentence, or ought to be, by the laws of grammar set into motion centuries ago. English teachers, unite! [amelia] Constructed of parts, words, these components form intelligible thoughts, phrases, ideas. Grammar and structure are the building blocks, blueprints. [ron] String a few words together and you have something supposedly more meaningful. It is capable of tapping into the very essence of what makes us tick, it could make us laugh, or it could spark an unreasonable amount of rage in us. If it is anything like this collection of letters and words, it means nothing. [bryan] So, who would want to write about a sentence? It depends on what you mean, the grammar unit, or a punishment for wrongdoing. I suppose if your punishment was to attend english and writing courses at a community college, you could experience both simultaneously. [Bob] Best way to read instructions. Conjugate and parse. Repaeat if necessary. 5 make a paragraph. I love words. They love me back. It's a verbose relationship. [patrocks] i write a sentence. you write a sentence. he, she, it writes a sentence. someones you don't need a sentence, one word will do. sometimes you need a paragraph & pages upon pages. depends on what youre trying to say to who really, alth [bex (:] "I'm engaged Bitch!" How could you marry someone who says things like that? Maybe I am so judgemental because I used to wear your ring...but still...First you have the audacity to be with her, she has the same name as I do, then you knock her up...now marry her? How dare YOU? I look at the sentence not really believing what I am seeing. Twins!, but how could that be I was on the pill! Oh well, I suppose I will cope, what difference will it make when I already have 5 other children to look after Besides the more the merrier, family christmases are going to be a blast from now on and just think, I will always have someone to look after me in old age...what else do you have kids for eh! [shelley] A way to share your heart or cover it well. [Diane] a sentence is simple. this is really weird. do we share these with others? wow that little green bar is going fast! makes me think of 5th grade english class. miss ottato teaching us on the side chalkboard. looking out the window seeing roofers on top of the church. singing God is so good in my old opera voice. sean mcfarland. time must be running out. i miss elementary school. i love st. mary's. too bad it's closed next year. [allison] Sentences, used to express emotions, the deepest darkest thoughts of the mind. The desires, for the one with the hair of gold and the dimpled cheeks, sitting, unaware of the awe in which he is held. He goes on oblivious to the future plans that involve, and indeed revolve around, him. Yeah, Sentence. senteces are the meaningufl way of existance, through which mankind can discover itself, become self awar and find that it is self discovering, self delighting, self appeasing. Meanwhile a sentance may fumble in a greasy till adding half-pence to the pence in the study hall with the one he wanted ever since it all began. [james] Sentences break up your thoughts wheather you like it or not. You have to think through what you say before you actually say it otherwise it never gets said. Sentences make it easier to think and work with what you want to say. [Jackie] well I guess I'll write one lol, because that's what you do...right? Write a sentence. What else could there be? The death sentence I guess but that's not as interesting. [nico] Okay, he said, just one sentence. Make it good. Make it effective. The key to good writing is brevity, picking the perfect words. Do that and your writing will be poetry in motion. [Steph] Sentences are challenging. They seem so simple, words strung together to communicate an idea. A noun or two, a handful of verbs, adverbs, adjectives, connecting words. Simple. But when you need to put some down together they can stop you dead in your tracks. ADV EFylfi:ARWRA [kjhgf] YOU ARE UGLY the judge exclaimed. [NOO] hi!! [ajay] i was sentanced to jail. I was sentanced to jail.

Today would have been 3 years. But after that one sentence, everything we worked for, cried for, loved is gone. [kate] Syntax grasping at language to form a coherent thought. I wonder sometimes whether my ability to create a living sentence has diminished with the fog of age and the disillusionment that comes with time. A sentence must end some time. Sentence. That wasn't one. That was a fragment. A sentence has a noun and a verb. The shortest sentence you can make is a command or question. Go! The longest sentence.. could have clauses galore. Sentences are no fun. Fragments. Are great. This is a sentence [Barry] . . .
