1. The backbone of the sentence.
What does a normal person say first? For example:
I drink water. He drove.
You walk. Is it to say the subject first?
Subject (who) + predicate (do) + object (thing).
Only 10% of sentences without an object are used
Two nouns plus one verb: whoever did what is a sentence is a sentence.
This is how sentences are formed.
2. Sentence composition.
Of course, there are other modifiers in the sentence in addition to the subject-verb-object, and trees have branches and leaves in addition to the trunk.
For example: delicious Sanlu milk powder. Charming Sister Feng.
A thrifty rich second generation. Conscientious vaccine manufacturers.
These red font parts are the branches and leaves of sentences, which are used to modify nouns, subjects, and objects.
Fixed) + subject + predicate + object + [form].
English sentences have only these 5 major components.
However, we have learned about the main table structure.
For example: she is beautifulIn fact, this is subject-verb-object in disguise.
At present, the international general interpretation of grammar has classified the predicate as the object.
Complements: Subject complements, object complements, are both subject or object is not enough, the part used for supplementation, is a part of the subject or object, and cannot be an independent component.
So the sentence has only 5 components, subject-verb-object-definite.
3. What is a clause.
Sometimes we see a sentence as the subject.
This is called a subject clause and is subordinate to the subject clause.
The main clause is like a train, the clause is like a carriage, and there needs to be a hook to connect the carriage, so there should be a hook word between the clause and the main clause, which is called a leading word, and most words that start with wh, that, how, when what who....In individual cases, this hook word can be omitted, and the subject clause must have a leading word. If it is an object clause, it can be omitted.
And so on, there are also object clauses, definite clauses, and adverbial clauses.
But has anyone ever heard of a predicate clause?
No! A predicate is a verb, or group of verbs, and a phrase has only one verb.
So when we understand a sentence and can't understand it, we must first find the predicate, and find the predicate, the left hand is the subject, and the right hand is the object. This sentence is understood in an instant, and it is very important, the predicate is the key to open the door.
Now we know that the stem of any sentence is made up of subject-verb-object.
For example, if a subject-verb clause also contains a subject-verb-object, can there be another subject-verb clause or object clause in this clause?
1000 sentences can be put into it.
But no matter how you set it, there will be these 5 ingredients.
Therefore, as long as English learns the subject-verb-object form, it will suddenly become clear.
