I don't know.

1 . subject+verb(intransitive verb)

3 . subject+verb(linking verb)+Adjective
4 . subject+verb(linking verb)+Adverb
5 . subject+verb(linking verb)+Noun

I want to know that there are anymore. if alot ....Let me know about them.

The sentence structures I've known are:
1. Verb. Go.
2. Verb+object. Help me!
3. Subject+verb. She dances.
4. Subject+verb+object. I love her.
5. Compound sentence. I love hare because she is very beautiful.
6. Complex sentence. I think that I will get high grades in my exam.
8. Mixed sentence. Please go there or I will kick you because you make me angry and made the mistake I don't like and have never made it in life.
7 Fragment sentence. You OK? ( Are you OK?)
8. Cleft sentence. What I need to do for my good health is (to) stop smoking.

(III) I know all tenses ....the question is this......

Tense depends on time-past, present and future.It does not depend on sentence structure.

(IV) Differentiate the verb tenses on sentence structure basis
I mean past tense sentence comes in which sentence structure
1.......2........3.......4......5
All tenses don't depend on sentence structure. If you want to show smoething you made in the past, you can use past tense.
I wrote a letter two minute ago.
