Kinds of Sentences according to structure
We need to understand first the following concepts under;

 Subject
 Complete subject
 Predicate
 Complete predicate
 Clause
 Finite verb

 Conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating)
Subject – is what is talked about in the sentence.

Complete subject – always has a noun or a pronoun in it.

Example: Most of the salt sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

Predicate – can be just one word or a group of words.

that tells what the subject is doing or what the subject is.

Example: The dog is sleeping in the sun.

Complete predicate – is the verb and all the other words that go with it.
- These are words that modify and further describe the verb.

Example: He ran a long way.

(Complete Predicate)
Clause - is a group of words that has a subject-verb combination in it.

Example: Water absorbs all the red, yellow, and green from sunlight.
Subject/verb

Finite verb – is a verb that can be used as the main verb in a sentence.
- act as a verb.

Non-finite verb – Do not act as verb.
