Sentence structure is the arrangement of words in a sentence. A sentence is composed of words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Other important words are:

Subject – the noun or nouns that perform the action

Example: The cat jumped.

The subject of this sentence is the noun, cat because it is performing the action of jumping.

Example: Mice and cats sleep.

The subjects of this sentence are the nouns, mice, and cats. This is called a compound subject because there is more than one subject performing the same action.
Object – the noun or nouns that receive the action
Example: The child ate chocolate.

The object of this sentence is the noun, chocolate because the child is eating the chocolate. The chocolate is receiving the action.

Example: She is eating rice and bread.

The objects of this sentence are the nouns, rice and bread. The subject is eating them both.
