There are six basic sentence patterns in Indonesian:

1. Subject – Complement
2. Subject – Predicate – Adverb
3. Subject – Predicate – Object – Adverb
4. Subject – Predicate – Complement – Adverb
5. Subject – Predicate – Object – Complement
6. Subject – Predicate – Object – Object

Beside active sentences, passive sentences are used far more common in Indonesian than in English, specially in newspaper headlines. Passive sentences sometimes can be frustrating also because some students fail to grasp the basic concept of when to use it, and practically no students learn to use it as often as Indonesians do.

Based on their functions or meanings, Indonesian sentences can be classified into four types:

1. statements or declarative sentences
2. questions or interrogative sentences
3. commands or imperative sentences
4. exclamations or exclamatory sentences
