Introduction to Sentence Structure

http://sentencemaster.blogspot.com/

The two fundamental parts of every English sentence are the subject and the predicate. A simple sentence can also be described as a group of words expressing a complete thought. Subjects can be described as the component that performs the action described by the Predicate.

Subject + predicate = sentence

A simple sentence or independent clause must have a verb. A verb shows action or state of being. The subject tells who or what about the verb.

Subject + verb = sentence

Sentence Structure Vocabulary

The sentence format consists of a subject and a predicate.

The subject names the topic and the predicate tells about the subject.

A sentence with one subject and one predicate is called a simple sentence.

The receiver of actions is called the object.

A group of words used as a single value without subject or predicate is called a phrase.

clause is a group of words with a subject and predicate.

Principal or independent clauses can form sentences.

compound sentence contains two or more principal clauses.

A clause which cannot form a sentence is called a dependant clause.

complex sentence contains a principal clause and one or more dependant or subordinate clauses.

compound-complex sentence contains two principal clauses and one or more subordinate clauses.
