As long as you need it to be! There is no magic formula for telling how long your sentences should be.

Write a correct English sentence with a subject and a predicate, give it correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and that is how long it is supposed to be!

How long is a sentence?

All a sentence has to have to make it a sentence is a subject and a verb. For example, "She ran." would be a complete sentence. 'She' is the subject and 'ran' is the verb. But a sentence can be as long as the writer wants it to be. The longest sentence I've personally ever seen was about 3/4 of a page long. There's no limit to how long a sentence can be, really, as long as it's a well-written sentence.
