Jumble is a word problem where sentences or words are to be rearranged by scrambling its words or letters respectively. Usually, the words are rearranged to devise a grammatically correct and meaningful word, sentence or even paragraph.
For example,
• rain/ are/ the/ kids/ dancing/ in
• Kids are dancing in the rain.
A sentence has mainly three parts:
• Subject, verb and object
Example,
• She (subject) is eating (verb) an apple. (object)
To make a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence, the order of subject, verb and object should be correct. Generally, verb comes after the subject but in interrogative sentences verb comes before the subject.
