Basic structure of an English sentence

<IDEA>

Basically the structure of an English sentence is made of “SUBJECT<who>” + “VERB<did what>”.

Adjectives and adverbs are extra information of either a noun or a verb so you can say a basic sentence is made of SUBJECT<noun> +  VERB<verb>

Japanese comparison) Sentence structure

Japanese> SUBJECT + <OTHER ELEMENTS> + VERB.

English> SUBJECT + VERB + .<OTHER ELEMENTS>.

Problem of grammar based learning

Grammar learning is a systematic and useful way of understanding a language.  However, when learning the language from the beginning it is also an unnatural way to learn. The biggest reason for this is this is the <subject>+<verb> conception. In real life communication, the structure is not strictly followed, especially in early stages. Imagine a baby starting to talk. The words coming out do not follow the sentence structure rule. The words coming out of the mouth are simple words without structure such as “banana” or “hungry.” You can actually ask questions though the structure does not follow the grammatical rule.  Phrases like “banana?” could refer to “Is that a banana?” and function well.
