Frame Meaningful Sentences

(शब्दों को सही क्रम में रखकर अर्थपूर्ण वाक्यों की रचना करना) इसके पूर्व आप पढ़ चुके हैं कि वाक्य के दो प्रमुख भाग होते हैं-जैसे
(i) Subject
(ii) Predicate
साथ ही आप Subject तथा Predicate के विभिन्न भागों का भी अध्ययन कर चुके हैं। उसी के आधार पर शब्दों को सही क्रम में रखकर सार्थक वाक्य की रचना करना है, जैसे—-
It a was sight fine see to.
उपर्युक्त शब्दों का समूह वाक्य नहीं कहा जा सकता है क्योंकि इस शब्द समूह का अर्थ स्पष्ट नहीं है। इसे निम्नलिखित क्रम में रखने पर वाक्य की रचना होगी, जैसे
It was a fine sight to see. इसी प्रकार कुछ अन्य उदाहरणों को भी देखें
Part ‘A’                                                                        Part ‘B’
1. has the broken glass who?                      Who has broken the glass?
2. tell lies is sin a to.                                        To tell lies is a sin.
3. give me eat to please something.         Please, give me something to eat.
4. gives she milk me.                                      She gives me milk.
Part ‘A’ के शब्दों का समूह वाक्य नहीं है क्योंकि उनका सार्थक आशय नहीं निकलता है, किन्तु उन्हीं शब्द समूहों को जब Part ‘B’ में सही क्रम में रखा गया है, तो वे वाक्य बन गये हैं।
(नोट-शब्दों को सही क्रम में रखते समय Subject तथा Predicate और उनके क्रम को ध्यान में रखना चाहिए।)
