Sentence structure
Sentences are made up of particular elements which are ordered in particular ways. The resources listed below explain some of the basic rules that determine the use of the different elements in constructing sentences. The resources also give you opportunities to practise using the rules to construct correct sentences yourself.

A sentence needs a subject.
A sentence needs a main verb.
A sentence needs a subject and a main verb.
The independent clauses in the sentence need to be joined by a conjunction.
A comma alone cannot join two independent clauses in a sentence.
When independent clauses in a sentence are closely related, they can be joined together by a semicolon.
A dependent clause cannot stand alone so it needs to be joined to an independent (main) clause to make a complete sentence.
A noun, followed by a dependent clause cannot stand alone so it needs to be joined to an independent (main) clause.

Do you mean "What's sentence structure"?

It's the way you've structured the sentence, the type of sentence. You might have a simple sentence, a compound sentence, a complex sentence... I think there may be others.

Just do a search for "sentence structure" and you'll come up with lots of sites which give examples.
