The above-mentioned table gives a comprehensive out look of all the varied possible types of sentences that we can think of making in English language.
The above-mentioned table has five main parts to read they are
v Subject : the doer of a work – beginning part of the sentence.
v Verb : Action work (existential / deed)
v Negative : ‘not’ in a sentence is considered as negative*
v Compliment : is also called as a completion part of the sentence without which the sentence becomes meaningless.
v Wh questions: interrogatives or questioning sentence
Sentences are classified into four basic types based on the connotation
· Assertive Statements made with confidence
· Imperative Ordering Statements
· Interrogative Questioning Sentences
· Exclamatory shock or Surprise Sentences
Sentences are of six types
· Positive Sign of success
· Negative Diffidence
· Yes or No Answers in one word either S/O
· Yes or No Negative Answers in a word either S / O
· Wh Explanatory answers
· Wh Negative Explanatory answers
Subject Verb Agreement There is a particular unique relationship with every subject and a verb (HV / MV), this unique relationship is called as SVA.
Every Singular subject should be accompanied by either am, is, was, will, shall be/will be, does, did, has or will have. Similarly every Plural verb should be accompanied by are, were, will be/shall be, do, did, had or will have.
Progressives: These are the tenses that we use to express the actions that have not end completed they are going on….
In progressive we generally use a ‘be form’ and an ‘ing’ verb.
In Progressive Past Tense we use
Was with all singular subjects Were with all plurals
In Progressive Present tense we use
am with I
is with other singular subjects
are with all the plural subjects
In Progressive Future tense we us
Shall be with all 1st person subjects. Will be with all other subjects
In a negative sentence the ‘not’ is to be used in between will and not. Remember not should always be in the third position. ‘Will not’ can be contracted to won’t

To make it into negative we use a helping verb ‘did’ suffixed with not. Did not can
be abbreviate to don’t.

We use ‘when’ and ‘while’ as two conjunctions in joining two past tenses.

While is used for a length of time#
Simple Present: Is used to say something in the present, generally under four circumstances we use the simple present

MODALS
Often used but least explained is this topic ‘Modals’. The complexity involved in this is the same ness in meaning but difference in attitude.
The general confusion is with regard to the classification
Formal confusion is regarding its place in the usage of auxiliary verb ‘to be treated as modal or as another Part of Speech?’
Semantic confusion is to deal with the meanings of various modals but also the interpersonal dialectic usage with regional difference and preference of ones choice.
To reduce the confusion lets us know the difference between the modals and the modalities
Some Grammarians classify modals into five types and the other divide them into three types:-
Classical Method:
Ability - Possibility
Inability - Negative using n’t
Request - Inversion with the subject
Half vowel - have / has, used to, need to (semi modals/Hybrid)
Obligatory - Emphatic stress
General Method:
Epistemic Speaker’s judgement with respect to truth of preposition.
Example: Aish may go home. (Uncertinity of aish going home)
Karthick must be home. (Look! His car is parked in the porch)
Deontic Oriented towards performing speech actions / influencing
Example: Prathima and Sowmya may go home now.
(To give permission for Prathima to leave).
(Sowmya should go home. She looks tired)
Dynamic in considerations to strengths
Example: He has to be at home. Hypothetical.
She must be at home. Inference
You must be in the class on time. (Clearly speaker oriented)
We have to be in the class on time. (Clearly external)

Used to Habits in past now not in use now
Ought Compulsion
Would Likely and preference
Let = Allow = Permit
Let 2 Ä 2 + Let = Available.
Allow or Permit + Object Proper-Noun + 2 + root verb.
Remember that all these words have the same meaning ‘permission’.
These words should be accompanied by an object pronoun.
The object pronoun should be followed by a root verb in case of ‘Let’ and an infinitive verb in the case of ‘Allow / Permit’.
Let him come into the class.
Allow him to come into the Class. Permit him to enter the class.
Let is also used to scold people
v Let me go to the dogs
v Let him die
v Let him suffer
v Let him go to hell
INFINITIVES
2+ÖV Explains the purpose of the sentence.
Infinitives are of two types:
Bare Infinities Here we use ‘to’ followed by bare verb (present verb)
Modal Infinities Here we use a ‘modal verb’ followed by ‘be’ and ‘root verb’
Infinities
Subject + verb + root verb These boys want to go.
These lessons are to be completed. Its going to rain.
Bare Verbs / Modal Infinities
Subject + MV + Root Verb Rakesh can call Rajesh.
GERUND
V+ing Pp = B4m+ Ving Subjective, Objective & OPG
Progressive verbs are called as Gerunds. Remember that there should not be a Be-form before a Verb ing.
Gerunds are of three types. Based on the usage and its position in the sentence they have been classified:
Subject When a sentence starts with and progressive verb it is called as Subject Gerund.
Smoking is injurious for health
Watching too much of TV spoils your eyes or increases ones sight
Object When progressive verbs are used in the object of a sentence with out a Be-form being prefixed then they are called OG
I love helping the needy
Cumar likes sharing thoughts in philosophy, management & Language
OPG Object of Prepositions are just like Object Gerunds, but the OG is prefixed by a preposition.
Thank you Dr.TH for all that you have done.
VOICE
Active: Subject is doing an action. Rama killed Ravana.
Passive: Subject is receiving an action. Ravana was killed by Rama.
Voices are of two types:

There is a particular form of verb structures and a unique relationship between Verb and Auxiliary verb.
Passive Preference is given the Verb / Action.
