A comprehensive guide to English sentence structure, including types of sentences, parts of a sentence, word order, and common patterns.

1. Sentence Types: There are four main types of sentences—declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory.
2. Parts of a Sentence: Sentences typically include a subject, verb, and sometimes an object, complement, or modifier.
3. Word Order: The standard order for English sentences is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), but questions and other forms may rearrange this order.
4. Common Patterns: English sentences follow patterns such as SVO, SVC (subject-verb-complement), and SVA (subject-verb-adverbial).
5. Complex Sentences: Sentences can be simple, compound, or complex, depending on the number and types of clauses.
