When we write a sentence,
we may use 4 basic
sentence pattern
Sentences Examples
There is or There was - There is a farm nearby
- There was a farm nearby
There are or There were - There are many animals in the farm
- There were many animals in the
farm
is and are -are used in the present tense
was and were - are used in past tense
23
To form a sentence we need
to have subject, verb and
object or also known as SVO
Subject Verb (action) Object (what)
(Who / what)
- The tiger - saw - a buffalo
- The man - tied - the tiger
- The buffalo - pulled - a plough
24
A sentence must have subject,
verb and object but the object is
replaced with adverb
compliment
What is adverb compliment ?
- Required to complete the
meaning of the verb. There for
if it was removed, then the
sentence will be incomplete.
25
Example :
Subject Verb (action) Adverb compliment
(Who / what)
- Lee Ann - jogs - in the park
- The teacher - sent - him home
26
You can also form sentence in
subject, linking verb and adverb
compliment.

- includes the five sense verbs
(smell, hear, touch, see and feel)
and “be” verbs (is , am , are)
