​Sentence Structure

By Maria Escarcega

Parts of a Sentence

Every complete sentence has essential parts that work together:

• Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about

• Verb: The action or state of being that tells what the subject does

• Object: The person, place, thing, or idea that receives the action of the verb

Remember: Subject + Verb + Object = Complete Sentence!
Subject + Verb + Object

• Example: "The teacher (subject) teaches (verb) the students (object).
