By understanding the underlying structure of sentences in the form of formulas, we can create an infinite variety by just plugging in the appropriate words. There are quite a few formulas here and this page will be dedicated to collecting as many as possible to be used as a reference of English sentence types.

The simple English sentence contains three elements: a subject, a verb and an object. Keep in mind that the subject is the "doer" of the action, the verb is the action and the object is the "receiver"of the action. For a glossary of grammatical terms used on this site, please see the glossary.

Using the following formula:

S+V+O

To make a question is a different thing, however. A simple question takes the form:

AUX + S + V + O

A listing of formulas for many types of English sentences follows. This will be an ongoing project so be sure to check back often.
