That phrase is talking about the different things that combine to make a sentence. In itself, it is a phrase rather than a sentence, because generally sentences need verbs.

sentence structure: the way the sentence is constructed. One of the most simple sentence structures is subject + verb + object (John runs home.). The addition of other parts of grammar, phrases, etc. leads to more complicated structures.

tense: the form of the verb group within the sentence, which usually shows whether you are referring to past, present, or future time. In the sentence 'John runs home', the verb form is simple present (he runs), so the sentence is written in the simple present tense.

meaning: the thing or idea that the sentence refers to or represents and which can be explained using other words. The meaning of 'John runs home' is that the person, John, moves much more quickly than a walking pace to get to the place where he lives.

Oh, it's a phrase. I just thought that it's a sentence because i thought "was" is the verb. the last three words definitely make me confused, so i ask you to explain it for me, please.
This is the context:
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,905
And their first contestant,
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:36,520
27-year-old Dewone Robinson was feeling confident.
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,460
His success was clearly meant to be.
00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:40,990
Music is in my blood.
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:42,430
It runs through my veins.

Thank you so much, teacher.

I'm so sorry Nam, that was my mistake! I thought you wanted the phrase "sentence structure, tense and meaning" explained. I didn't look closely enough at the topic to realise that it was the sentence, "His success was clearly meant to be" that you wanted explained!

His success was clearly meant to be, means
He was destined to be successful/ It was obvious (to everyone) that he was going to be successful (because he had a talent in that area).

Ok, thank you. Now i understand the meaning. But i'm still confusing about " to be" . I mean why we use "to be" here instead of another one like " to become" or something else, I'm still confusing about the word " be".
Thank you!

Nam, the verb "to be" in that sentence means "to happen."

His success was meant to happen.
His success was meant to be.

"Become" by itself simply would not make sense. It was meant to become what?

Thank you. It's new to me. Now I think can use it without confusion.
