What is Sentence?
A group of words that makes a complete sense is called sentence.
1 )
In the first sentence 'an pen' is wrong because 'an' article is never used with a consonant. 'Pen' starting with the consonant sound, so we will use 'a' here. 'An' is used when the first letter of the word starts with a vowel sound.
2 )
In the second sentence, 'its necklace' is wrong because we never use a pronoun 'its' when we are talking about some person. She is a female not a thing, so we will use here 'her' pronoun because it best fits the sentence. 'It' is only used with things or some animals.
3 )
'An' is a indefinite article and it is always used when the first letter of the word begins with the vowel sound. 'name' is beginning with a consonant sound, so we will use 'a' here. Vowels are a,e,i,o,u.
4 )
Using of preposition 'of' here would be wrong. 'from' preposition is used because - he is drinking milk from a bottle. Preposition 'from' is used to show the position of something. Here milk is in the bottle, so he is drinking milk from the bottle - It is showing position of milk.
