Basic lines and simple sentences Representation Subject Verb Base Line Divided line Charlie run Charlie run As we can notice in this simple, the subject and the verb are under the base line, then we need to separate the subject and verbs because they cannot steady together. Subjects on the left side, whereas verbs on the right side. We have to divide the different components of the sentence by lines in simple words every element has its line and position . There are more lines that we will learn later on. Sometimes we will find out that there are sentences with compounds subjects 2 or more subjects, when it happens, we use a line named ¨dotted line¨ Dotted line Jacky Angel Conjunction dance Angel and Jacky dance. The left side of the base line is split in an upper and lower line, a dotted lined joins them using the conjunction, so we can perfectly identify the subjects from the verb. There are compound verbs too, we do the same as compound subjects, we need to divide the base line, but this time in the right side.
