I know a lot of you know what a period is; it's not a foreign thing to us. However, it is the thing that we forget how to use. Sometimes we get called by the English teacher that you need periods and some of you will just put them haphazardly. And you might put some thought into it, but it might not be in the right place. A way to prevent this is if you know the SVC (Subject-Verb-Complete thought) rule. This rule will help a lot in sentence structure, and it is also the most important rule. Also, this rule is pretty much easy to learn as long as you don't overthink it.
Anyway, the sentence is made up of three rules: a subject, which is the character, object, or thing you're talking about; the verb is after the subject, and it is just the action that the subject is doing; and then there's the complete thought. The complete thought is a bit hard to understand since we might know what a complete thought looks like, and the solution to that is to think of it as something that makes your sentence complete. An example of a incomplete sentence is this: "I like." This sentence is wrong since we already have questions, and you can tell that it doesn't feel complete. To fix this, though, we just need to add something to the end. One example is "I like ice cream." Although short, this is a complete sentence, and it has a subject, verb, and complete thought.
