SENTENCE PATTERN
There are five important components in a sentence.
·
SUBJECT – It shows who or what is doing the
action. It is always some form of noun or pronoun.
·
VERB –
It shows the action or the state of being. It can be an action verb, like
“run,” or a state verb, like “seem.”
·
OBJECT
– The word which receives the action from the
subject is the object of the sentence. it gives answer for “what” (or) “whom”.
What is for “things” and whom is for “person”.
A) DIRECT OBJECT –
The phrase or word which answers the question “what” .
B) INDIRECT OBJECT – The phrase or word
answers the question “to whom”
·
ADJUNCT –it gives answer for the questions
when,where,why,how/it is the second information of the sentence
·
COMPLEMENT – The word or phrase completes the meaning of
a sentence,it gives more information about the subject,usually comes after “BE
form” verbs. Proffessional or career, colours, adjectives are mostly
complement.
It comes after main verbs
like “Become, elected, feel, grew, get, seems, made, etc…”
If the complement tells us
about the subject is called subject complement.

tells about the object]
