 Sentence structure
1. Simple sentence
A simple sentence or simple sentence consist of one independent clause. An
independent clause contains both a subject, a verb, and expresses a complete thought.
Simple formula sentence contain only independent clause.

Each of these clauses can only form a sentence which is two (or more) independent
clauses joined by a conjuction semicolon. Each of these clauses can form its own
sentence, before the conjuction there are punctuation marks.
Coordinating conjuctions: for, but, and, or, yet, so.
Adverb: moreover, otherwise, howover, therefore.

Example:
- Budi enjoys playing football and fathers enjoys cutting in the grass.

subject and a verb, but does not express a complete thought.
Subordinating conjuctions: after, althought, as, because, before, how, if, once,
since, than, that, though, till, until, when, where, whether, and while.
Relative pronound: that, which, whom, whose.

conjuction + independent clause.

Example:

- The computer that is broken, needs to be repaired, but I do not have enough
money.
- Nita is a quiet person but she can become a talkative one after she knows you better.

 Sentence complement
1. Subject complement
Subject complement is a complement which functions to provide complementary
information to the subject. Generally it begins with a linking verb. Subject
complement can be noun, noun phrase, noun clause, adjective, or adjective phrase.
For more detail, consider the sentence below:
 Mr. dony is a teacher
 She is what I want
 The beach is beautiful and wonderful
The linking verb in the example sentence are, is, and was.
2. Predicate complement
Predicate complement is a complement the function to complete the predicate (verb)
and explain the subject of a sentence. For more details, consider the sentence below:
 Ari is reading a book
 Billy drives too fast
 I love apple

3. Object complement
Object complement is a complement that provides complementary information on
object. Object complement can be a noun or adjective or any other element that acts
as a noun or adjective. For more details, consider the example below:
 Everyone wanted the terrorist dead.
 He proved them wrong.
 You should keep them happy.
In each of those sentence, a stupid person, dead, wrong, and happy are object
complement.
 Verb agreement
Verb agreement means conformity of verb and subject. Remember that the subject and
the verb in a sentence must match (agree). A singular subject must also meet a singular
verb; the plural subject must meet the plural verb.
Example:
- The kid plays kite ( kid=singular, plays= singular verb)

- The kids play kite ( kids=plural, play=plural verb )

1. Singular – Plural
If the subject is singular (he,she,it) then he verb is also singular by adding s, es, or ies
behid it. If the subject is plural (we,they) then the verb is also plural. There are
exceptions for first person and second person subject (I and you). These two subjects
follow the plural subject rule where the verb is not changed from its original form.
Example:
- Cacha goes to school

- He likes to eat apples

- The cat chases the mouse

- I go to school

- They like to eat apples

2. Conjuction ‘and’
When two subject are combined with the word ‘and’ then the subject means more
than one so it becomes plural.
Example:
- Cacha and Charlie ride car to school.

- The cars and bikes park in front of the mall.

3. Word to describe quantity

If there is a word describing a quantity such as all, most, some, half, etc. followed by
the word of then the verb to use depends on the noun after it.
Example:
- Half of the book is.

- All of the information is.

- Most of the students arrive at school.

 - Some of the cakes are very delicious.

4. There and Here

For there and here the verb form is determined based on the noun after it.
Example:
- There are birds

- There is a snake in my boot

- Here is your phone

- Here are the list that you need

5. Additional phrases
Additional phrases or interrupting phrases are phrases that are added after subject.
Here are some example of additional phrases:
 As well as
 Including
 Especially
 In addition to
 Along with
 Together with
When you find these phrases in a sentence, what must be remembered is that the
form of the verb remains dependent on the subject at the beginning and is not
affected by these phrases.
Example:
- Rina, together with sister likes visiting her grandmother
- The children, as well as their cousins get presents every Christmas
6. Special rules for a number of word
There are also a number of words, which, although they contain plural meanings, are
always grammatically singular. So the verb must be singular.
Here are some word that use this particular rule:
 Everyone
 Everybody
 Each
 Somebody
 Someone
 Something
 Anybody
  Anyone
 No one
 Nobody
 Nothing
Example:
- Everybody knows lee
- Each flower has different color
- Someone is hiding behind the tree
- Nothing matters now
