BASIC STRUCTURE OF AN ENGLISH
SENTENCE.
The two most basic parts of a sentence are
the subject and predicate.
The subject and predicate make up the two basic structural parts of any
complete sentence. In addition, there are other elements, contained within the
subject or predicate, that add meaning or detail. These elements include the
direct object, indirect object, and subject complement.
SUBJECT AND PREDICATE
SUBJECT
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that is performing the action
of the sentence. The subject represents what or whom the sentence is about. The
simple subject usually contains a noun or pronoun and can include modifying
words, phrases, or clauses.
The man . . .

PREDICATE
The predicate expresses action or being within the sentence. The simple predicate
contains the verb and can also contain modifying words, phrases, or clauses.
The man / builds a house.
COMPLEMENT
DIRECT OBJECT
The direct object receives the action of the sentence. The direct object is usually a noun or
pronoun.
The man builds a house.
The man builds it.

INDIRECT OBJECT
The indirect object indicates to whom or for whom the action of the sentence is being
done. The indirect object is usually a noun or pronoun.
The man builds his family a house.
The man builds them a house.
COMPLEMENT
SUBJECT COMPLEMENT

A subject complement either renames or describes the subject, and therefore is usually a
noun, pronoun, or adjective. Subject complements occur when there is a linking verb
within the sentence (often a linking verb is a form of the verb to be).

The man is a good father. (father = noun which renames the subject)

The man seems kind. (kind = adjective which describes the subject)
