A sentence is a statement with words set in order to express our ideas, feelings, views etc. in a meaningful expression. (ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଠିକ୍ ଭାବରେ ସଜାଇ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆମର ଭାବନା, ମତ, ଅନୁଭୂତି ଆଦିକୁ ଅର୍ଥପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବାର ଉକ୍ତିକୁ ବାକ୍ୟ କୁହାଯାଏ ।)
Or, A group of words that makes complete sense is called a sentence.
(କେତୋଟି ଶବ୍ଦ ମିଶି ଏକ ସଂପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅର୍ଥ ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲେ ତାହାକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ବାକ୍ୟ କୁହାଯାଏ ।)

A sentence (Particularly a simple sentence) consists of two main parts.

Remember: By a subject, we mean a noun or pronoun provided the subject is a one-word
constituent. Similarly by a predicate, we mean particularly a verb or verbs.]
(ମନେରଖ : ଯଦି ବାକ୍ୟରେ Subject ଗୋଟିଏ ପଦବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ଶବ୍ଦ ହୋଇଥାଏ, ତାହା ନିଶ୍ଚୟ Noun Pronoun। ସେଇଭଳି Predicate ବା ବିଧେୟର ମୁଖ୍ୟ ଅଂଶ ହେଉଛି Verb ବା କ୍ରିୟାପଦ ।)
