 Hello everyone and welcome. Now we are going to review the basic sentence structure. Let's begin by going over the basic parts of the sentence. First, we have the subject. The subject is the person or thing that does something in the sentence. It is near the beginning of the sentence and is a noun. In the example, she likes cats, she is the subject. Next is the verb. A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence or state of being. In the example, she likes cats, likes is the verb. And last is the object, which is a person or thing that receives the action of the verb. In the example, she likes cats, cats would be your object. In English, word order is very important. The word order is subject plus verb plus object. For example, this sentence says he reads books. He is the subject, reads is the verb, books is the object. In English, sentences always happen in this order. Let's look at different English sentence patterns. English sentences have five basic patterns. First is subject plus a verb. This structure does not have an object. For example, Melissa is the subject, reads is the verb. Let's look at two more sentences. She is eating, Jim will leave. These sentences are very basic and do not have an object. In the next pattern, there is a subject plus a verb plus an object. I like eggs. In this sentence, we have a subject, I. A verb, like, and the object is eggs. She sees her sister. He is reading a book. These all have the same structure. Subject, verb, object. Then there is subject plus verb plus adjective. For example, he is smart. He is the subject, is, is the verb, and smart is the adjective. Another sentence, Laura is busy and the flowers are red. Notice that these all have a B verb. That's because we're using an adjective. Now this pattern, subject plus verb plus noun, describes people and things. For example, she is my friend. He is a doctor. They are teachers. These sentences all have a subject, a verb, and noun. So let's review. What are the basic sentence structures? We have subject plus verb, subject plus verb plus object, subject plus verb plus adjective, and subject plus verb plus noun. And there's also subject plus verb plus adverb, but we will talk about that later. I hope that you understand the sentence patterns better. Thank you and see you next time.
