Study Notes
Lesson Objectives
- Recognize different sentence patterns in English.
- Determine the sentence pattern of provided sentences.
- Compose meaningful sentences using various sentence patterns.
Lesson Agenda
- Introduction to basic sentence patterns.
- Discussion of the three main elements: subject, verb, and object.
- Practice through a simple quiz on grammar skills.
Sentence Structure
- Basic structure: subject + verb + object.
- Essential for understanding the topic, action, and effect within a sentence.
- A sentence lacking subject or verb may not be fully comprehensible.
Subject
- A subject performs the action or experiences a state of being.
- Example: In "Rosa and Samira listened attentively," "Rosa and Samira" are the subjects.
Verb
- A verb expresses action or a state of being related to the subject.
- Example: In the same sentence, "listened" is the action verb performed by the subjects.
Basic Sentence Patterns
- Three types of sentences:
- Subject + Linking Verb + Complement (S - LV - C)
- Subject + Intransitive Verb (S - IV)
- Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct Object (S - TV - DO)
S - LV - C Pattern
- Sequence: Subject, Linking Verb, Complement.
- Linking verbs connect the subject to the complement, which can be a noun, pronoun, or adjective.
- Examples:
- "Rosa is smart." (S: Rosa, LV: is, C: smart)
- "The sea remains silent." (S: sea, LV: remains, C: silent)
Common Linking Verbs
- Forms of "to be": is, am, are, was, were, etc.
- "To become" and "to seem" also function as linking verbs.
S - IV Pattern
- Sequence: Subject + Intransitive Verb.
- Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object.
- Examples:
- "The vase fell." (S: vase, IV: fell)
- "Grandma prays." (S: Grandma, IV: prays)
S - TV - DO Pattern
- Sequence: Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct Object.
- A transitive verb requires a direct object that receives the action.
- Examples:
- "Rosa ate the cake." (S: Rosa, TV: ate, DO: cake)
- "He gave me a small present." (S: He, TV: gave, DO: present)
