At the heart of every English sentence is the Subject-Verb relationship. Other elements can be added to make a sentence more interesting, but they are not essential to its formation. Every sentence in English (except interjections) has a subject and a verb. The subject is either a noun or a pronoun. The verb is either an action verb or a helping verb. There are several basic sentence patterns in English. They are as follows:
N be Adj
N be Adv
N1 be N2
N1 IntrV (Intransitive verb)
N1 TrV (Transitive verb) N2
N1 TrV (Transitive verb) N2 (indirect object) N3 (direct object)
N LV (linking verb) Adj
