I'm reading through the Manhattan GMAT Foundations of Verbal and very early on the text lists "word order" as an aspect of sentence structure. However, the text does not go on to list the other aspects. Does anyone mind chiming in on what other "aspects" of sentence structure I should be on the lookout for?

Thanks!

There are many aspects of sentence structure, such as the use of clauses, the placement of modifiers, and the use of tenses.

Do you need to be on the lookout for them? Some of them I guess.

In any case, that guide you have will discuss what you need to be on the lookout for, and maybe that's what you need to be concerned with more than any list of aspects of sentence structure.

Here is the order of importance in my experience:

Verb Form
Parallelism
Pronoun Agreement
Agreement
Modifier
Comparison
Meaning
Logical prediction

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
