English sentences follow a logical structure to convey meaning clearly. Here's a breakdown of key components:
1. Basic Sentence Structure
A standard sentence has:
- Subject (who/what the sentence is about) 🧑🏫
- Verb (action or state) ⚙️
- Object (receiver of the action) 🎯
Example:
"The cat (subject) sleeps (verb) on the mat (object)."
2. Complex Structures
- Clauses (main and subordinate) 🧩
- Modifiers (adjectives, adverbs) 🎨
- Phrases (prepositional, participial) 📐
Example:
"Although it was raining (subordinate clause), we went out (main clause)."
3. Practice Tips
- Identify the subject and verb first ✅
