SENTENCE PATTERN

Sentence

A sentence is not just a string of words which are randomly put together. There is a definable set of constituents that combine to make sentences. We have a set of rules which are used to combine these constituents. The nice fact about the structure of a sentence is that we are able to know who is doing the action and the outcome of the action.

 Basic Elements of a Sentence

Subject (S)

Verb (V)

 Object (0)

Complement (C)

 Adverbial (A)

Subject

The subject shows who or what is doing the action. It is always some form of noun or pronoun. 

Verb

The verb shows the action or the state of being.

Object

An object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb in a sentence. 

Complement

A complement is a word or word group that completes the ⁠predicate⁠ in a sentence. 

Adjunct

An adjunct is a word, phrase or clause that can be removed from a sentence without making it grammatically incorrect.

The Basic Elements of a Sentence

A sentence has two basic elements: the subject and the predicate.

Subject

The subject is the performer of an action. It is usually at the beginning of a sentence. It may be a noun, a pronoun, a noun phrase, or a noun clause.

Predicate

Predicate can either describe an action that the subject is performing, or a state of being that the subject is experiencing.

Subject-verb agreement

Subject-verb agreement means using the right version of the verb to agree with the subject. 

Phrase

A phrase has at least two words and functions as one part of speech.

Noun Phrase

A noun phrase is a group of two or more words headed by a noun that includes modifiers.

Role of the Noun Phrase

A noun phrase plays the role of a noun. A noun phrase can function as a subject, an object, or a complement within a sentence.

Noun phrases consist of a noun and all of its modifiers. Modifiers can include adjectives, articles, participles, or possessive nouns and pronouns.

Subject of a sentence

A sentence has one main subject, which is the subject of the main verb. However, a sentence can include other subjects that are the subjects of other verbs. The subject of a sentence is a noun or a pronoun and all the modifiers that go with it.
