Sentence structure: the basics

The rules:

1. A complete sentence always has a noun and a verb (just like in Russian).*

2. Adjectives can go directly before the noun they describe, or after it, if separated by a verb.

3. A compound subject includes two or more simple subjects, hence it can include more than one subject(s).
