subject (who or what the sentence is about).
- Then the
verb (action).
- Followed by the
object (what is being acted upon).
- Add
adverbs (like *very much*, *slowly*, *easily*) near the verb or after the object.
- Use
auxiliary verbs (like *do*, *did*, *don't*) in questions and negatives.
- Time expressions often go at the end or beginning of the sentence.
