Argument (linguistics)

In linguistics, an argument is a word or phrase that helps give more information about the action in a sentence. It's like when you tell a story about how you went to the park and played with your friends. The word "park" and "friends" are the arguments in the sentence because they give more information about the action of playing. So, arguments are like little helpers that tell us more about what's happening in a sentence!
