E. Grammar FocusBasic Sentence Patterns1. Things to Remember: There are six important

components in understanding the basic sentence patterns.

Subject (S) Transitive Verb (TV) Intransitive Verb (IV)Indirect Object (IO) Object (DO) Complement (C)

a. SUBJECT (S)The subject of a sentence or clause is the part of the sentence or clause about which something is being said. It is usually the doer of the action. It is a noun or a pronoun.

Examples:1. Others call it small machine.2. Band Wheel leads the balance wheel.

b. TRANSITIVE VERB (TV)A transitive verb has two characteristics. First, it is an action verb, expressing a doable activity like kick, want, paint, write, eat, clean, etc. Second, it must have a direct object, something or someone who receives the action of the verb.

Examples:1. Dress Guard protects the dress from the wheel.2. Shuttle holds the bobbin case while sewing.

c. INTRANSITIVE VERB (IV)An intransitive verb is one that does not take a direct object. In other words, it is not done to someone or something. It only involves the subject.

Examples:1. We arrived at the tailor’s house with only seven seconds to spare.2. The dressmaker sits on the front porch waiting for her costumer.

d. DIRECT OBJECT (DO)A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb or shows the result of the action. It answers the question "What?" or "Whom?" after an action verb. An action verb with a direct object is called a transitive verb.

Examples:1. Presser Foot holds the fabric in place while sewing.2. Bobbin Winder controls the bobbin while winding thread.

e. INDIRECT OBJECTIndirect objects are usually found with verbs of giving or communicating like give, bring, tell, show, take, or offer. An indirect object is always a noun or pronoun which is not part of a prepositional phrase.

Examples:1. I bought Ana a dress.2. We gave them a big discount.

f. COMPLEMENT (C)Complements are words that come after linking verbs and modify nouns. The most common noun complements are adjectives and nouns.

Examples:1. Subject Complement- is the adjective, noun, or pronoun that2. follows a linking verb. The following verbs are true linking verbs:3. any form of the verb be [am, is, are, was, were, has been,4. are being, might have been, etc.], become, and seem.a. Needle is a slender tool attached in the needle

clamp used for sewing.b. Spool Pin is the thread holder.2. Object Complement- a noun, adjective, or pronoun used in the predicate as complement to a verb and as qualifier of its direct.

Examples:a. They call it industrial sewing machine.b. We consider him adroit.
