Try This: - Morning: 5 minutes of vocabulary flashcards - Afternoon: Listen to an English podcast or song - Evening: Write 3–5 sentences in a journal Choose the Right Materials for Your Level Don’t start with Shakespeare if you’re still mastering the basics. Use materials that are just a bit challenging — enough to keep you learning without feeling frustrated.

Mastering English Sentences: Types, Kinds, and How to Build Them

By Sharmaine Calimlim

One of the most essential skills in mastering English is understanding how to construct sentences. A sentence is more than just a group of words; it is a structured expression of thought that communicates an idea clearly. Every sentence must have at least a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or what is being said about the subject). Once you understand the different types and kinds of sentences in English, you'll find it much easier to express yourself—whether you're writing a business email, telling a story, or having a casual conversation. Let’s begin by exploring the four types of sentences by structure : Simple Sentences contain only one independent clause. This means they have one subject-verb combination and express a complete thought. Example: He studies English. Even though it’s short, it is grammatically complete. Compound Sentences join two independent clauses using a c...
