    Syntax refers to the rules that govern sentence structure and help readers understand meaning. There are four basic rules of English syntax: 1) A complete sentence requires a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. 2) Separate ideas generally require separate sentences. 3) A sentence containing multiple independent clauses that are improperly joined is considered a run-on sentence. 4) English word order follows the subject-verb-object sequence.

    Syntax
    What is syntax?

    SYNTAX
    Syntax is the set of rules that helps
    readers and writers make sense of

    DEFINITION
    sentences. It's also an important tool that
    writers can use to create various
    rhetorical or literary effects.

    4 Essential Rules of Syntax in the English Language


    The rules of syntax can be quite complex and vary greatly by language (as
    well as by time period and place). Depending on the language you are
    speaking or writing in, these rules might be very restrictive, or quite flexible.
    When it comes to English syntax, there are four baseline rules to keep in
    mind:

    A complete sentence requires a subject and a


    verb and expresses a complete thought.
    This is also called an independent clause. A sentence without a subject and a
    verb is considered a fragment.

    Separate ideas generally


    require separate sentences
    An independent clause
    contains a subject, a verb, A sentence containing
    and a complete thought.
    A dependent clause multiple independent clauses
    contains a subject and a
    that are improperly joined is
    verb, but no complete
    thought. considered a run-on sentence.
    English word order follows the
    subject-verb-object sequence.
    (It’s usually the same in French and
    Spanish.)
    In linguistic typology, subject–
    verb–object (SVO) is a sentence
    structure where the subject comes
    first, the verb second, and the
    object third.
    A dependent clause contains a
    subject and a verb

    But it doesn’t express a complete thought.


    According to the Purdue OWL, an independent clause is “a group of words that
    contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.” A dependent
    clause is “a group of words that contains a subject and verb but does not express
    a complete thought.” Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction
    (connecting word) .
