    Sentence Patterns

    • A Transitive Verb Pattern involves a subject performing an action that directly affects a receiver.
      • Example: The boy sings.
    • A Subject-Transitive Verb-Indirect Object-Direct Object Pattern includes a subject performing an action that impacts two receivers.
      • Example: The projects include four major sectors.
    • A Subject-Transitive Verb-Direct Object Pattern consists of a subject performing an action directly affecting one object.
      • Example: The APEC gives developing countries support.
    • A Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Nominative Pattern connects the subject to a noun or pronoun that renames or describes it.
      • Example: Porside Notena's plan was a success.
    • Each pattern connects the subject to verbs and objects within sentences.
    • Adjectives and adverbs can enhance sentences but do not change the underlying pattern.
    • Examples are brief but cover main concepts and describe important parts of each pattern.

    Predicate Adjective Pattern

    • The subject of a sentence can be a noun, pronoun, or adjective.
    • Predicate nominatives or predicate noun complements rename the subject and follow the linking verb.
    • Predicate adjective follows a linking verb and describes the subject.
    • Example: His behavior has been outrageous.
      • The predicate adjective "outrageous" follows "has been" and describes the subject "behavior."
