英语句子结构有哪些 口语常用的
现代汉语里一般的句子成分有六种，即主语、谓语、宾语、定语、状语和补
语。英语的基本成分有七种：主语、谓语、表语、宾语、定语、状语和补语
一个完整的英语句子，至少由两部分组成（祁使句除外）——主语和谓语。
主语是一个句子叙述的主体，表明这句话描述的是什么，谓语则用以说明主语的情况，它在人称和单复数形式上应与主语保持一致。除了主语和谓语，句子有时还需要其他的成分，如用在系动词后表明主语性质，特征，状态或身份的表语，用在及物动后，表示行为对象或结果语，修饰或限定名词或代词的定语，修饰动词形容词副词介词短语或全句的状语以及对一个名词或代词作进一步解释的同位语等。
英语句子的基本结构可以归纳成五种基本句型及其扩大、组合、省略或倒装。掌握这五种基句型，是掌握各种英语句子结构的基础。
英语五种基本句型列式如下：
一：
（主＋谓）
二：
（主＋系＋表）
三：
（主＋谓＋宾）
四：
（主＋谓＋间宾＋直宾）
