Simple Sentences

Every basic sentence needs a subject and a verb so we know who does what. The subject tells us who and the verb tells us what they do.

An object shows what or who receives the action, making sentences more specific. Objects usually come right after the verb.

Adjectives describe nouns and make sentences more interesting by adding details like color, size, or shape. They usually come before the noun they describe.

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by telling us how, when, where, or how much something happens. They often end in -ly and can move around in the sentence.

Prepositional phrases add extra information about place, time, direction, or cause and usually start with words like in, on, at, or for. They turn sentences from general to precise.

Questions often invert the normal order or add a question word to ask for information. Short answers can repeat the verb and subject to keep things clear.

Simple sentences stick to the basic order: subject, verb, then object or other elements. Practice making short sentences about everyday things to build confidence and fluency.
