Abstract
This research paper explores much of the basic and background knowledge of English and Bangla sentence patterns or structures as well as tries to compare and contrast between these two very languages, English and Bangla at the sentential levels. As it is known the concept of basic sentence structures is necessary for classroom teaching and learning to perceive the subtleties of language at the highest unit of grammar, this study is expected to facilitate the understanding of bilingual relationships between them (may be as a native or a foreign language) for researchers, teachers, learners and/or speakers of both the languages. The ideas drawn from the findings in this paper will also help one in the field of translating amid these two languages which is pedagogically very significant as well. For a few dissimilarities, we often notice greatly faulty grammatical constructions both in English and Bangla, when learners or users shift from one to another. So, this study of the two types of sentence patterns along with their components will be of considerable use to many, specially to those who teach, learn or use these languages.

Summary
It is evident in the history that the origin of both English and Bangla is Indo-European family of languages. English was by and large dominated by Greek and Latin whereas Bangla was greatly influenced by English, specially in some areas of grammar during the British regime in the Indo-Pak-Bengal subcontinent. Bangla grammar was based on Sanskrit grammar. In English, the term ‘grammar’ comes from Greek meaning ‘study of words’ and its Bangla synonym is /bækɔrɔn/ which receives the meaning ‘analysis’. It is worth mentioning that the sentence pattern in the two languages is well-fixed. This study aims at the comparative analysis of the structure of simple declarative sentences (i.e. statements) of the English and Bangla languages in the standard variety. The necessary phonetic transcriptions are incorporated in this study for non-native speakers of Bangla
