Be + S + v, N + ving, etc. Question!

Hello Good People,

Where would one find out what these bizarre combinations of letters and + signs are?

Can't seem to find a definitive guide to their explanation.

I did find a "Shurley English" site that listed some of the more obvious such as Adj = adjective and Adv = adverb, but nothing for 'S'.

Is there a definitive name for what these "equations" are called?

P.S. what does 'S' represent?

Thank you

Normally S = subject, v = verb, ving = "-ing" form of verb, N = noun. I'm not sure "Be + S + V" is possible though.
