The document provides sentence structure building guidelines for teaching with a focus on keeping things simple. It begins with guidelines to start with simple words and keep sessions focused on the chosen structures. Examples of existential sentences are then given using "I am" and "I am not". Further examples demonstrate increasing complexity moving from attributes and opinions to actions, descriptions, and relationships.
