Sentence Basics
What it is: How a sentence is built (Subject + Verb + Object/Complement). What it’s for: Make clear sentences and avoid word-order mistakes. Example: “I (S) like (V) coffee (O).”
Core patterns
- S + V: “Birds fly.”
- S + V + O: “She reads books.”
- S + be + Complement: “He is a doctor.”
- S + V + O + O: “I gave her a gift.”
- S + V + O + Adj: “They painted the wall blue.”
Common word order tips
- Time usually goes near the end: “I study English at night.”
- Frequency adverbs often go before main verbs: “I often work.”
- With “be”, frequency adverbs go after be: “She is always happy.”
