Every sentence has to have a noun,or a pronoun , and a verb, and usually, a subject.

 A noun is a person, place, or thing.  A pronoun are the words, he, she  ,or it.

A verb is an action word......like run or ran.  A subject is the where or what you're talking about....such as a  destination you're going to . An adjective is a word describing which, how many, or what kind of .

You should start out simply.  Your sentence has to start with a capital letter (all sentences do). Your sentence must end with a period (the little dot after the last word).  
Your sentence could be about somebody doing something, or somebody being something.  

Bob is going to the store.    
Bob is somebody, and he is doing something (going to the store).

Bob is a kind man
Again, Bob is somebody, and he is BEING something (a kind man). 

It can be about a THING:      The tree is full of apples.    My cat threw up on the bed.  
The thing to ask you after you have written your sentence (remember the capital letter and period) is to ask yourself:  WHO?   and then WHAT ABOUT HIM, or HER, or IT?    Your sentence should tell you WHO and WHAT.  

Good luck!
