| The three main parts of a sentence are the
subject, verb and object.
There are three main parts to a sentence. These three parts are
called the subject, the verb,
and the object. In a sentence, the subject is the
person of thing that does the verb. The verb tells you what action
happens. The object is the person or thing that the verb is done
to.
A short sentence may have only a subject and a verb.

These sentences are very short, but they are real sentences. They
have a subject and a verb, and so they make sense.
In a sentence, every word has a job to do. There are seven different
jobs which words do. These jobs are:
- noun
- pronouns
- adjective
- verb
- adverbs
- a word of place or time (preposition)
- a link word (conjunction)
Another name for all these jobs is parts of speech, because
they all have a part to play when we speak or write.
