300 Basic English Sentences
The basic parts of a sentence are the subject, the verb, and (often, but not always) the object. The subject is usually a noun — a word that names a person, place, or thing. The verb (or predicate) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being.
Basic Sentence Structure
- A simple sentence is a sentence with just one independent clause (also called the main clause): Judy laughed.
