Getting the structure right
Generally, English Language sentences are basically built up of
Subject + Verb + Object/Predicate
They are actually quite simple . One could identify this structure taken from any sentence extracts.
Example:

According to a statement issued at 7pm yesterday, the Johor districts are Kluang, Mersing, Kulai, Kota Tinggi and Johor Baru while in Sabah, the affected districts are Sandakan (Telupid, Kinabatangan, Beluran and Sandakan) and Kudat (Pitas and Kudat).
