SENTENCE PARTS AND

PATTERNS
1. HOW TO FIND THE SENTENCE PARTS:

FIRST… look for the SUBJECT.


 To find the subject: Ask w ho/what is the s entence a bout?

NEXT… find the VERB/PREDICATE!


 To find the predicate: Ask what is the subject doing? ( action verb,
linking verb, helping verbs)

 Action Verbs → an action/actions done by the subject . It may/may


not af fect the object of the sentence.

▪ Ex: The bats’ electromagnetic wave echolocates preys and any


physical barriers. →with object

▪ Ex: The protein coat degrades. →without object


1. HOW TO FIND THE SENTENCE PARTS:
 Linking verbs → kata kerja penghubung. Linking verbs connect
noun or adjective to subject. Verb being (to be; is, are am, was,
were) or Sensory verbs ( seem, look like, appear, etc).

 Helping verbs →. Adalah verb yang membantu kata kerja utama. It


doesn’t c hange the meaning of the sentence even if we erase the
helping verbs. Kesatuan antara main verb dan helping verb disebut
dg verb phrase.

 → Auxiliary verbs or modals (will, shall, can, may, must, ought to)

▪ Ex; the transcription factors have to be installed to the single


stranded DNA

▪ Ex; Ubiquitins will drive the protein to their proteasome target.


1. HOW TO FIND THE SENTENCE PARTS:
NEXT… find the OBJECT!
 A sentence may have a Direct Object, Indirect Object, or Both .

 To find the direct object: Ask [verb] what?

 To find the indirect object: Ask [verb] to/for whom the verb is
performed?

To have the indirect object, a sentence must have a direct object


first.
EX: I gave Mom a bouquet of weeds.
 S U B J E CT: W ho/W hat [gave]? I

 P RE DICAT E: act i on/linking/verb phr ase g ave

 Di r e ct Obj ect: [gave] w hat ? a b o uquet

 Indi r ect Obj e ct: [gave ] to w hom ? Mom


FIND THE PARTS OF THIS SENTENCE:

EXAMPLE #1: The spore mother cell will


undergo cell division.

1. SUBJECT: who/what [verb]? →The spore mother cell

2. PREDICATE: find an action verb, linking verb, or verb


phrase → will undergo (verb phrase)

3. Direct Object: [verb] what? → cell division

4. Indirect Object: [verb] to/for whom/what? → none


FIND THE PARTS OF THIS SENTENCE:

 EXAMPLE #2: At a local pharmacy, the students bought


their lab assistants new googles.

1 SUBJECT: who/what [verb]? →the students

2 PREDICATE: find an action verb, linking verb, or verb


phrase → bought (action verb)

3 Direct Object: [verb] what? → new googles

4 Indirect Object: [verb] to/for who/what? → their lab


assistants

 Sensory verbs like
appear, feel, grow, look, etc.
▪ the adjective OR noun that
follows a linking verb.
▪ complement = completes the subject

 A linking verb LINKS the subject of the sentence to its subject


complement; therefore, this pattern only works with linking
verbs.
EXAMPLES OF S+LV+SC

1. Brandon is a gifted scientist.


▪ Brandon = subject

▪ is = linking verb

▪ scientist = noun as subject complement.

2. He becomes nervous when people compliment his


skill.
▪ He = subject

▪ becomes = linking verb

▪ nervous = adjective as subject complement.


SUBJECT COMPLEMENT ≠ DIRECT OBJECT
 Don't mistake a subject complement for a direct
object!
Only linking verbs can have subject
complements.
Example: Brenna felt sick this morning.
▪ Brenna = subject
▪ felt = linking verb
▪ sick = adjective subject complement.

▪ Example: She felt her forehead but did not detect a temperature.
▪ She = subject
▪ felt = action verb
▪ forehead = direct object (Remember D.O. answers: [verb] what?)
