Introduction
In English, sentences often follow a similar
structure: subject, verb, and object. This
pattern allows a person to know the topic of
the sentence, what action is being
performed, and the effect of that action.

If a sentence doesn't have a subject or


a verb, it's likely that it won't be fully
understood.

In this lesson, we will talk about the basic


sentence patterns in English.

What is a subject?
A subject is either performing the action of
the sentence or experiencing a state of
being.

Let's take a look at this example:


Rosa and Samira listened attentively.

The two subjects in the sentence above


are "Rosa and Samira," who performed the
action of "listening."

What is a verb?
A verb is a word that expresses an action or
a state of being of a subject in a sentence.

Let's take a look at this example


again: Rosa and Samira listened
attentively.

The verb in this sentence that shows action


is the word "listened." The verb expresses
an action being performed by the subjects
"Rosa and Samira."

Basic Sentence
Patterns
a. Subject + Linking Verb +
Complement b. Subject +
Intransitive Verb
c. Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct
Object d. Subject + Transitive Verb +
Indirect Object + Direct Object

a. S - LV - C
This pattern follows the sequence: subject, linking verb, and
complement.

Linking verbs are the connecting verbs between the subject and the
complement. Complements can either be nouns, pronouns, or
adjectives and often follow a linking verb.

Let's take a look at this example:

Rosa is smart.

S LV C
The subject is "Rosa." The linking verb is "is." The complement is "smart."
b. S - IV
This pattern follows the sequence: subject and intransitive verb.

An intransitive verb is a verb that does not have a direct object. That
is, there is no word in the sentence that indicates who or what
received the verb's action.

Let's take a look at this example:

The vase fell.

S C
The subject is the "vase." The intransitive verb is "fell."
c. S - TV - DO
This pattern follows the sequence: subject, transitive verb, and direct
object.
A transitive verb is a verb that uses a direct object, which shows who
or what receives the action in a sentence. A direct object provides an
answer to the question of who(m) or what.

Let's take a look at this example:

Rosa ate the cake.

S TV DO
The subject is "Rosa." The transitive verb is "ate." The direct object is "cake."
d. S - TV - IO - DO
This pattern follows the sequence: subject, transitive verb, indirect
object, and direct object.

An indirect object is the word or phrase that receives the


direct object.

Let's take a look at this example:

Rosa gave me a pen.

S TV IO DO
The subject is "Rosa." The transitive verb is The indirect object is The direct object is "pen."
"gave." "me."

questions?
