Language is one of
the important things in human’s life, it plays a great role in human’s communication or in

people can express their feelings or get some informations. As the part of culture, language has the rules which have
to be followed by its users, for example,
the roles of sentences including simple sentence, compound sentence, complex sentence, etc.
A sentence is a verbal structure
that reflects something about the world. It puts words in relation in order to map our
understanding of the sensible structure of
the things. If we think any further along this line, we will be in the realm of
the linguistics philosophy, so let us

mirror a perception or an understanding.
Word clusters named nominal, verbal, adjective, and adverbial are combined to form the sentence. For example, we
will use the sentence although there is
no general agreement on what a sentence really is.
