What are the big six sentence structures?

Answer 1

Simple - sentence has a subject and a verb (Lions roar.) Compound - two simple sentences are joined together with a conjunction (Lions roar and cows moo). Complex - A complex sentence contains a clause, which is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but does NOT express a complete thought. (I like vanilla ice cream but my family prefers chocolate)

Answer 2

The six basic sentence structures refers to the six types of verbs. These verbs are the intransitive, linking, be, one-place transitive,Vg (two place transitive) and Vc (also a form of two place transitive).

Answer 3

The term "sentence structure" refers to the clauses in the sentence.

There are 4 types of sentence structure: simple, complex, compound, and compound-complex.

• Simple - there is only one, independent clause
• Complex - there is an independent clause and at least one dependent clause (a clause that could not be used as a separate sentence as written)
• Compound - there are at least two independent clauses, but no dependent clauses
• Compound-complex - there are at least two independent clauses and at least one additional dependent clause

Examples:

The boy has a dog. (simple)

The boy has a dog that likes to dig holes. (complex)

The boy has a dog, but his sister has a cat. (compound)

The boy has a dog that likes to dig holes, and his sister's cat likes to fill them in. (compound-complex)

Answer 4

Grammarians and other students of English offer different overviews of the language's basic sentence-patterns. Several of the sentence-patterns that would be generally accepted by most, however, are the following: noun - verb; noun - verb - direct object; noun - verb - indirect object; noun - verb - adverb.

Answer 5

The structure of a sentence refers to the way a sentence is put together. For example: "The brown was dog" is not the correct way to write a sentence. The correct way is: "The dog was brown".
