Sentence Patterns--
 
The first pattern is the most Basic one—
Subject+ Verb (S+V)
Example: 
We relaxed.
 
Remember that, a verb is a word used to
describe an action or a state it comes from
the Latin word Verbum.
 
Here some longer Example this pattern……
I
 haven’t been practicing.
Rana and his friends 
are going to be
performing.
The second pattern adds one more elements
 
SVO
Subject
+
Object
Verb
+
Direct object
 
                      They played music.
 
Example:
 
Some verbs take a object. We called these
Transitive
 Verb.
 
Direct object:
 
Object of verb someone or
something is acting appoint
the object or performing on
the object.
 
Example: They played music.
Played what?–
 
music.
 
Can any verb have an object?
No
 
So, we called the first pattern there is no object.
Example: 
We relaxed.

They’re anything that behaves like a noun.
 
Here is a quick note on objects.
 
Nouns
Pronouns
Gerunds
Clauses
Objects or noun or anything
the behaves like a……
 
Both sentences
SV
SVO
can add on one
more unit called-
Adverbial.
SVA
SVOA
 
Adverbial
 
Adds information
Adverbial adds
information ends a
questions like …..
 
Where? When? Why? How?
Which include other how
questions like … How long?
How much?
 
So, our first pattern
 
S +V
 
can be come
 
S + V + A
Example: The children played in the sand.
Where?
 
in the sand.
Second pattern—SVO
Can be come--SVOA
 
Example:
 
They sang songs last night
.
When?
 
last night.
We can have more than one adverbial in a
sentence and adverbials owned always final
position.
SVOAA
 
Example:
 
They sang songs on the beach last
night.
 
How many adverbials above sentence?
Two
Where?
When?
on the beach
last night.
Watch the reviewed
ASVOA
 
Example: 
Last night 
they sang songs 
on the beach.
 
When we start using more than one adverbial in a
sentence they usually follow and coder.
Manner
Place
Time
 
Time is the goes last.
 
Be careful not to make your sentences too long and
too wordy!
 
What we understand?
Some adverbials are necessary.
Some are optional.
 
Look at the some examples:-
 
With this sentences make sense accurate without
three adverbials? ………..
No
 
All three are necessary.
 
Now look at the next two examples:-
 
These are establish full meanings without two
adverbials.
So, this adverbials could be omitted.
 
The basic patterns are------
SVC
 
Subject+ Verb+ complement
Complement gives more information about either
the subject or the object.
Example: Today was 
fun.
SVCA
 
Today was fun 
as usual.
 
How do we know when to use a complement?
We talked about transitive and intransitive verbs.
There are another group of verbs we need to talk
about---------
 
Linking verbs
 
Linking verbs link or connect the subject to an
idea called the complement. We need the
complement to fully understand the subject.
 
Let’s talk about “Linking Verbs”……………..
SVC
Subject + Verb + Complement
Subject complement
For Example: She’s an artist.
We need this
She’s ……… what?
an artist
You seem confused.
You seem ……what?
confused
Complements are very often Nouns/Adjectives.
 
Here is the common list of linking verbs.
 
Appear
Be
Become
Feel
Look
Seem
Sound
taste
 
Linking verbs
SVC
Subject + Verb + Complement
 
After this linking verbs we usually say a noun phrase
or adjective phrase but adverbs and prepositional
phrases also fit this pattern.
Example: She’s up stairs.
 
        She’s in her studio.
 
Just remember that……
   
Basic pattern
Subject + linking verb + more information about the Subject.
That information is necessary. So, we always need
more information about the subject after a linking
verb.
 
Are there other kinds of complements we should
know about?
Yes.
 
Subject complements are only one type of complement.
Let me, quickly show you another.
Look at this example----
She 
was
 
excited
 
about the party.
What’s the party does this follow…………
She was excited.
SVC
Subject
 
+
 
linking verb 
+
 
subject complement
S + V + complement, here excited is an adjective, is the
subject complement.
about the party 
is information that explains for excitement, it explains
the adjective. It is an adjective complement. So, our sentence is now..
SVCC
 
What about sentences with 
indirect object
?
Let’s look at those next.
Fourth sentence patterns are four parts.
SVOO
 
Subject + verb + first is indirect object + 2
nd
 is the
direct object.
Its will be clear when we see an example…….
Indirect object 
often follow a preposition.
Example: I tell secrets to 
my friends.
  
I sing songs for 
the children.
 
The basic pattern is 
SVOO
We can add 
SVOOA
Look at these two examples:
1. We showed our cousins a really good time last
weekend.
Here, we—subject
 
showed—verb
 
our cousins—indirect object
 
a really good time—direct object.
 
last night—adverbial
2. 
Last weekend 
we showed our cousins a good
time.
Here, we have the 
adverbial 
at the beginning.
 
SV
SVO
SVC
SVOO
……. is there another pattern to learn?
Yes. Here comes the last one!
We talked about the subject complements and adjective
complement directly after an adjective.
Get ready…..
The fifth sentence pattern.
    
SVOC
Subject + verb + object + object complement.
Here is an example: I consider that 
the best trip ever.
 
is the object complement
 
Example: 
I consider that the best trip ever.
The best trip ever
is the  object complement.
 
It explain and define the object. I need that fully understand
I consider that ………..
To be what?
…… the best trip ever.
Some sentences require an adjective complement like this
one.
Here’s a similar example:
We consider him family.
Consider him.
To be what?
We consider him family.
 
Here is the nice example:
You make each day special.
You make each day 
……………… 
what?
………..special.
We need the adjective, we need the word as the object
complement to explain the object.
What can I do with all this knowledge about sentence patterns?
Start applying it!
 
I want to show you the power of this knowledge. Let’s
exercise only five sentences.
Find and correct each sentences. I know you can do it.
 
1.
I put    on the table.
 
[
It’s the first sentence what's wrong
with that.
]
 
Here ‘put’ is a transitive verb, its need an object.
You ‘put’ what on the table?
The sentence pattern should be --
SVOA.
Correct
 
sentence: 
I put it on the table.
   
I put 
the vase 
on the table.
Here is the second sentence.
2. This morning,  missed the bus.
This sentence has no subject. The Basic pattern is 
ASVO
Who missed the bus?
This morning,
 I 
missed the bus.
 
3
rd
 sentence is-----
3. Music  a beautiful art form.
This sentence is missing a ‘verb’
A linking verb
 
Pattern is ----- 
SVC
Lets put in a verb—music is a beautiful form,
Look at the fourth sentence:-
4. 
I sent to
 her 
a thank you note.
This sentence has two objects. In the correct order----
{s + v+ indirect object first (drop preposition) then
direct object.}
Sentence pattern is---
SVOO
Here’s the fifth sentence:-
5. This whole experience has made a better person in
me.
Sentence pattern is----- 
SVOC
Has made me -------what?–
a better person.
Correct sentence is: 
This whole experience has made
me a better person.
 
Remember that the five Basic Sentence Patterns.
SV
SVO
