In this lesson, you can learn about sentence
structure in English.

You'll learn how to construct all kinds
of sentences in English, from the simplest

possible sentences, to long, complex sentences
which contain many different ideas.

What's the simplest sentence you can make
in English?

What does every sentence in English need?

The simplest sentence is an imperative, which
means when you tell someone to do something.

These are the simplest complete sentences
you can make in English; they're just one

Of course, most sentences are longer than
this.

Most sentences that are longer than one word
also need a noun before the verb.

With a subject plus a verb, you can make simple
sentences like:

You can see that the verb can be in different
forms: past or present, simple or continuous.

The verb form doesn't change the structure
of the sentence.

These are all the same: subject plus verb.

Of course, these sentences aren't very interesting.

You can't say much with short sentences
like these.

What could you add after runs to make it longer?

You can see that you have many choices, but
your choices are also limited.

In this case, you can use different kinds
of adverbs, but there are also things you

For example, you can't use another verb
after run, you can't use an adjective, and

you can't use a noun, or at least you can't
use a noun with this meaning of run.

This is an important point, so let's look
at it in more detail.

To build grammatically complete sentences
in English, there's one important question:

For example, you saw the sentence he runs.

You can put a full stop after runs, and it's
correct.

They aren't complete, very simply, because
they aren't finished.

You can't just 'want', you have to want
something.

At this point, we want to teach you a word:
complement.

The complement is the thing you add after
a verb to make a sentence complete.

A complement can have many different forms.

It can be a noun, a verb, an adjective or
an adverb.

These things can be single words or phrases.

For example, when we say 'noun', we also
mean noun phrases.

So, table is a noun, and the wooden table
which my grandmother gave me is also a noun.

Both nouns refer to one object—one table.

For this lesson, a noun can be one word, or
a phrase.

Pause the video and write down three endings
for your sentence.

Try to use different ideas and structures.

These are just our suggestions; of course
there are many possibilities!

She likes getting up before the sun rises.

She likes to listen to music while she works.

You can see that there's more than one possible
complement: you can use a noun, a gerund (a

verb with -ing which acts like a noun), a
gerund phrase, or an infinitive verb with

However, like before, your choices are also
limited.

The idea of complements isn't just for the
first verb in the sentence.

For example, look at one of the sentences
you just saw:

Technically, you can say She likes getting
up.

It's a grammatically complete sentence,
but you'd never say it.
