See `C-h f forward-sentence RET' and `C-h v sentence-end RET'.


Ok, I read but do not fully understand, does it mean I need two spaces separating sentences?


If you don't want to change `sentence-end', yes.  In contrast to Emacs
21, this should not be necessary if you set
`sentence-end-double-space' to your preferred value.

More on the topic can be found in (info "(emacs)Sentences").

I see, thanks.

The descriptions of variables and functions are sometimes a bit cryptic to understand, but this of course understandable with so many functions to document. Nice to have this mailing list to get answers from real people.

Have a nice day, Henrik
