I can recall the first time as a child that I became aware that I was thinking in sentences. Did I do so before that time? I can't really say. It seemed quite a revelation at the time, but I can't begin to pinpoint the time and date when it occurred.

Not only do I think in sentences, but in some cases (most?) it seems I visualize, to some extent, a written sentence. I sometimes stop in the middle of a thought to wonder about the spelling of a word (there is a tricky grammar rule in French called "la règle du participe passé" which always befuddles me).
