Basic Sentence Structure (Subject + Verb)
Every simple English sentence needs two main parts: a subject (who or what) and a verb (the action or state). Often there is also an object (who/what receives the action).
Subject + Verb (+ Object) - Ali runs. (subject + verb) - She reads a book. (subject + verb + object) - The dog sleeps. - We eat rice.
To find the parts: ask "Who?" for the subject and "What do they do?" for the verb. English word order is usually Subject → Verb → Object (S-V-O).
Build sentences step by step: pick a subject, add a verb, then add an object — The boy → eats → an apple.
Common mistake: Wrong word order, e.g. "Rice I eat." Correct order is Subject–Verb–Object: "I eat rice."
