The structure of a sentence composed of as follows :

Subject :

Verb :

 A verb is a kind of word (part of speech) that tells about an action or a state. It is the main part of a sentence: every sentence has a verb. In English, verbs are the only kind of word that changes to show past or present tense.

In most sentences where the Complement defines the Subject, you will find a particular type of verb being used. The most usual is the verb be and its forms (e.g. am, are, was, have been) followed by a noun phrase or an adjective phrase, often as a single word.

Examples :

         C

A modifier is a word, phrase, or clause which functions as an adjective or an adverb to describe a word or make its meaning more specific.
