Short answer: Yes — the sentence is grammatically correct.

Why it is correct (easy steps):strong>

  • Subject: "Apples" means more than one apple.
  • Verb: "are" matches the plural subject "Apples."
  • Two things joined: The word "and" joins two ideas: they have vitamins, and they are healthy for you.
  • Punctuation: The sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period — good!

Words explained for a 6-year-old:

  • "Rich in vitamins" means the apples have lots of good stuff inside that helps your body.
  • "Good for you" means they help keep you healthy.

Simple ways to say the same thing:

  • Apples have lots of vitamins and are good for you.
  • Apples have vitamins. They help keep you healthy.

Try this: Read the sentence out loud slowly. Can you point to the word that tells what apples do? (That word is "are".)
