The function sentenceCount uses this regular expression to calculate total sentences: (/ *[.?!]['")\]]*[ |\n](?=[A-Z])/g)
It works well when we have text separated by single \n but when there are multiple new lines in between the text, it does not split them properly.
Possible Fix
I suggest a fix: After getting sentences from regular expression mentioned above, we should split each by \n and consider each splitted string as new sentence if it's word count is greater than 3.

I was matching
