Sentence Construction:

All sentences need a N. and V. (Subject and predicate)

eg:    She is home.

eg: Dogs think.   (This is a correct sentence, but not a good sentence)

     Exception: For a command, we don’t need to write a subject. It is implied.

eg: Go get that report. (The subject is Implied, meaning… the Subject is YOU)

To say more, add an ADJ.      ADJ. + N.

eg: Smart dogs think.

eg: Cute, smart dogs think.

To say even more, add an ADV.   (ADV. are very flexible and can be put almost anywhere in the sentence)
