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
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
The verb attentively.
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 The linking The
"Rosa." verb is "is." 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
the "vase." 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 The transitive The direct
"Rosa." verb is "ate." 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 Ivan a pen.

S TV IO DO
The subject is The transitive The indirect The direct
"Rosa." verb is "gave." object is object is "pen."
”Ivan."
e. S - TV - DO - OC
This pattern follows the sequence: subject,
TRANSITIVE verb, direct object, and object
complement.
An object complement is a word or a group of words (
phrase) that comes after a direct object, identifies it, and
either renames it or modifies it (what state it has entered).
Note that a noun as an object complement renames the
object, andLet's
an adjective as at

example:
it.
Bobby painted his room
pink.
S TV DO OC
The subject is The transitive The direct The object
"Bobby" verb is object is complement is
"painted" "room" "pink."
Object of
Preposition
A noun functions as the object of a
preposition when it follows a preposition
(e.g., in, on, at, of, with) and completes the
prepositional phrase.
Prepositions are words that show
relationships between other words in a
sentence.

The cat is on the


table
PRE NOU
P N
The prepositional phrase starts
with the preposition and ends
with its object, a noun or
pronoun. ("to the park" is the
prepositional phrase, and "park"
is the OP.)

4. The keys are under the

5. She is interested in

any questions?
Appositive
A noun functions as an appositive when it renames
or explains another noun in the sentence.
Appositives add extra information, and they can be
essential (restrictive) or non-essential (non-
restrictive).
Appositives clarify or rename a noun next to
them.

Distinguish Essential vs. Non-
Essential:
Essential: Provides necessary
information, no commas.
The author J.K. Rowling wrote

Non-Essential: Adds extra information,
set off by commas.
