[@tonic9112]

I think it was the common difficulties that I had recently. But you both described those problems so clearly. So now I can prolonge my ideas into a good structure of sentences. Later on I'll always keep in mind to use this basic concept (Subject plus Main verbs ) for daily conversation. Thanks

You are great Oxford Online English. I learnt some very important lessons, that's why i want to thank you. Almost every teacher taught me complex sentences complexly, where as you were taught me simply. Thank you all. Finally i wish anybody who will catch my mistake or mistakes if i made on obove.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thank you for the kind comment, Roodro! Here are a few suggestions for your writing: 1) Always capitalize 'I' in a sentnce. 2) '...whereas you taught me simply,' not, '...where as you were taught me simply'. 3) '...I request anyone to catch my mistake or mistakes if I made any above,' not, '...i wish anybody who will catch my mistake or mistakes if i made on obove'. Hope this helps you!

Basically, English and Latin Language have the same structure. Talking about Portuguese, however, there are a few differences. In Portuguese, there are more types of subject and in setences like "It's raining" there is no subject at all. So, in Portuguese, there are some sentences without a subject.
