Sentence structure refers to the way words are arranged to form sentences. It involves several key elements:

Subject: The main focus of the sentence, usually a noun or pronoun that performs the action.

Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells what the subject does, often containing a verb and sometimes additional information.

Objects: These can be direct or indirect, receiving the action of the verb.

Modifiers: Words or phrases that provide additional detail about the subject, verb, or object, such as adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.

Clauses: Groups of words with a subject and a verb. Independent clauses can stand alone as sentences, while dependent clauses cannot.

Common sentence structures include:

Simple: Contains one independent clause (e.g., "The dog barks.").
Compound: Contains two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction (e.g., "The dog barks, and the cat meows.").
Complex: Contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause (e.g., "The dog barks when the mailman arrives.").
Compound-Complex: Contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause (e.g., "The dog barks when the mailman arrives, and the cat hides.").
Understanding sentence structure helps in writing clearly and effectively.
