Using them correctly involves understanding their grammatical roles in sentences and contexts.
The rules of sentence construction govern how words and phrases are organized to form coherent
and grammatically correct sentences. Here are some key rules along with examples:

Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or
plural).

Example:

Incorrect: The dog runs fast.

Correct: The dogs run fast.

Complete Sentences: A sentence must contain at least one subject and one verb and convey a
complete thought.

Example:

Incorrect: Under the table.

Correct: The cat sat under the table.

Punctuation: Proper use of punctuation marks such as periods, commas, question marks, and
exclamation marks is essential for clarity and meaning.

Example:

Incorrect: Let's eat kids.

Correct: Let's eat, kids.

Capitalization: Begin sentences with capital letters and capitalize proper nouns.

Example:

Incorrect: the united states is a country.

Correct: The United States is a country.

Word Order: Maintain the correct word order to ensure clarity and coherence, typically subject-verb-
object (SVO) in English.
Example:

Incorrect: Barked loudly the dog.

Correct: The dog barked loudly.

Parallel Structure: Items in a list or series should be grammatically parallel.

Example:

Incorrect: She likes hiking, swimming, and to ride bikes.

Correct: She likes hiking, swimming, and riding bikes.

Modifiers: Place modifiers close to the words they modify to avoid confusion.

Example:

Incorrect: I almost ate all the pizza.

Correct: I ate almost all the pizza.

Tense Consistency: Maintain consistent verb tense throughout a sentence or paragraph unless
there's a clear reason to shift.

Example:

Incorrect: She walks to school yesterday.

Correct: She walked to school yesterday.

Subject-Verb-Object Order: Typically, sentences follow a subject-verb-object order, but this can vary
based on language and context.

Example:

Incorrect: Ate the cat the fish.

Correct: The cat ate the fish.

Avoiding Fragments and Run-ons: Sentences should be complete and not fragmentary or run-on.
Example:

Fragment: Walking to the park.

Run-on: I like dogs they are cute.

Remember, these are general rules, and there can be exceptions and variations in different contexts
or languages. Additionally, style guides and specific writing conventions may introduce additional
rules or nuances.
