从语法结构的角度出发，英语有四种基本的句子结构：
1.Simple Sentences 简单句(one independent clause):
We drove from Connecticut to Tennessee in one day.
pound Sentences并列句(more than one independent clause):
We were exhausted, but we arrived in time for my father's birthday party.
在英语中，并列句主要由7个并列连词连接：for, and, but, or, yet, so, nor
plex Sentences 复合句(one independent clause and at least one dependent clause):
Although he is now 79 years old, he still claims to be 65.
复合句包括了我们通常所说的名词性从句即：主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句，及形容词性从句即定语从句
pound-complex Sentences 并列复合句(more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause):
After it was all over, my dad claimed he knew we were planning something, but we think he was really surprised.
在这四种基本的句子结构的基础上我们还可以进行扩展：
我们可以使用修饰语对句子进行扩展，且修饰语在句子中的位置是非常灵活的∙Using Initial Modifiers （句首修饰语）:
1. Infinitive Phrase: To please her mother, Maria went to
sleep.
2. Adverb: Quickly and quietly, Maria went to sleep.
3. Present Participial Phrase: Hoping to feel better, Maria
went to sleep.
4. Past Participial Phrase: Annoyed by the TV commercials,
Jane switched off the TV set.
∙Using Mid-Sentence Modifiers （句中修饰语）:
5. Appositive: Maria, an obedient child, went to sleep.
6. Participial Phrase: Maria, hoping to catch up on her rest,
went to sleep.
∙Using Terminal Modifiers （句末修饰语）:
7. Present Participial Phrase: Maria went to sleep, hoping
to please her mother.
8. Past Participial Phrase/Adjectival Phrase: Maria went to
sleep, lulled by music.
9. Maria went to sleep, awakening to scary dreams,
relieved when it was morning.
∙Combining Modifiers:
10. Q uickly and quietly, Maria, a young girl, went to sleep
hoping to please her mom.
此外，为了实现句子结构的多样，还可以考虑使用下面一些方法：
1. 平行结构（parallel structure）

2. 分裂句（cleft sentence）
