Ok ok I know them exactly.

but

some sentences use connectors, adverbs, adjectives, -------etc.

so

Is there some basic structure for complex sentences????

Excuse me, but where you have predicate, I believe you mean complement.

Those other things just dress up the sentence. You can remove them and keep the basic information.

Subject
He escaped.

Subject+Verb+Predicative
She is beautiful.

Subject
I saw him

S + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object

I give him the book.

S + Verb + Object + Object Complement
You can leave him alone.
