Rules

There are certain rules which needs to be remembered in order to use the diverse subject effectively. Check the below rules for more:

• Verbs change their form to show the time or action that took place in the past, present or future. There are also linking verbs which links the sentence. For instance, appear, seem, etc.
• An adjective is used to modify a noun or pronoun and shows its quality and quantity within the sentence.
• Like any other sentence, clauses also contain both subject and predicate. If a group of words does not have subject and predicate, then it is merely termed a phrase.
• A clause can be called or considered as a sentence or an independent thought when it can stand alone as well as can make a complete thought.

The most basic and key English grammar rules relate straight to sentence formation or structure. These rules state that:

• The predicate will also be used as singular when the subject is singular.
• A sentence should not be left open ended and should contain a full thought in it.
• Commas in a sentence are used for pausing as well as to separate a number of words in a sentence.
• When predicates are involved in the sentence, they give more information about the subject. Direct objects provide more information about the verb.
• One of the basic rule is to take care of punctuation as it is an essential part in sentence formation. Capitalization and terminal punctuation at the end of a sentence is the key to form correct sentence.
• Subject is the main part of the sentence and can be a person, place, animal or thing or an idea which is taking place with the action. Not all sentences have subjects though, and can perform action without a specific subject. For instance: His skin changes texture after going out in sunlight.
