The sentence structure of Toki Pona sentence is as follows:

[[#context|'''context''']] {{tp|[[la]]}} [[#subject|'''subject''']] {{tp|[[li]]}} [[#predicate|'''predicate''']] {{tp|[[e]]}} [[#direct object|'''direct object''']] {{tp|[[preposition]]}} [[#indirect object|'''indirect object''']].<ref>{{cite web|title=nasin toki pona|author=jan Juli|url=https://github.com/kilipan/nasin-toki}}</ref><ref>Jean-Marc Quéré, ''sona li wan'' (2021) p. 9</ref><ref>{{cite pu|17, 20, 25, 26, 34, 35, 48, 49, 51, 56}}</ref>

==Context==
The context before [[la]] can be a word, phrase, or entire sentence.

==Subject==
The subject of the sentence can be a word or phrase. Multiple subjects are combined with {{tp|[[en]]}}.

==Predicate==
The predicate of the sentence can be a word or phrase, potentially with a [[pre-predicate]]. A [[preposition]] or prepositional phrase can be a predicate. Almost all predicates are introduced by [[li]]. <!-- It is not worth specifying that "almost all" means "except in the case of mi and sina along" here, I don't think. -->

==Direct object==
The direct object of a sentence can be a word or phrase. Each direct object is introduced by [[e]].

==Indirect object==
The indirect object of a sentence can be a word or phrase. Each indirect object is introduced by a [[preposition]].
