English Common Grammatical Structure

 Common grammatical structure in English


Subject-verb-object (SVO):

The most common structure, the subject performs the action (verb) on the object. For example, "I love pizza" (subject: I, verb: love, object: pizza).

Subject-verb:
This is a simple sentence structure in which the subject performs the action (verb).
For example, he loves, he, subject, love verb


Subject-linking verb-adjective (SLA):


In this structure, the linking verb connects the subject to an adjective that describes or renames it. For example, "The flowers are beautiful" (subject: flowers, linking verb: are, adjective: beautiful).

Subject-verb-indirect object-direct object (SVIDO):


This structure is used to indicate who or what the action is being performed for or to. For example, "He gave me a book" (subject: he, verb: gave, indirect object: me, direct object: book).

Compound sentences:


This structure joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or"). For example, "She likes to play, but he wishes to watch movies" (two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "but").

Complex Sentences

These have an independent clause or more than  a dependent clause

For example, Since he was crying, I helped him" (dependent clause: "because he was crying," independent clause: "I helped him".

Passive voice:

 This structure is used when the subject is the recipient of the action, rather than the performer. For example, "The cake was backed by my mom" (passive voice with the subject: cake, verb: was baked, performer: my mom).
