This is a presentation I made for a demonstration teaching, so you may find the first few slides

1. ? What comes next?

2. 0, 1, 1, 2, ?, 5 What number is missing?

3. 0, 1, 1, 2 , , 5 3

4. C C D ? E F G G H What letter is missing?

6. Basic Sentence Patterns

7. S-LV-C This pattern is composed of Subject + Linking Verb + Subject Complement

8. Linking verbs are verbs that do not express action. Instead, they connect the  subject  of the  verb  to additional information about the subject. Sense verbs may also be linking verbs. A subject complement is a noun or adjective that follows a linking verb.

9. I am busy . Subject Linking Subject Verb Complement They look sick . Subject Linking Subject Verb Complement Joe became a doctor . Subject Linking Subject Verb Complement

10. S-TV-DO This pattern is composed of Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct Object

11. A transitive verb is an action verb that requires an object for its meaning to be complete. A direct object is a noun that receives the action of the transitive verb. It answers the question “What?” or “Who?”.

12. Sheila drives a car . Subject TV DO Leo loves Smit . Subject TV DO

13. S-IV/S-IV-Adv. This pattern is composed of Subject + Intransitive Verb or Subject + Intransitive Verb + Adverb

14. The boy danced. Subject IV An intransitive verb is an action verb that does not require an object for its meaning to be complete. The boy danced gracefully . Subject IV Adverb

15. S-TV-IO-DO This pattern is composed of Subject + Transitive Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object

16. An  indirect object  precedes the direct object and tells  to whom  or  for whom  the action of the verb is done.

17. Tom gave her a gift . S TV IO DO Agnes baked Tony some cookies . S TV IO DO

18. S-TV-DO-OC This pattern is composed of Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct Object + Object Complement

19. An  object complement is a noun or adjective that describes or tells something about the direct object.

20. Michael calls his mother Nanay . S TV DO OC Senators declared the bill unconstitutional . S TV DO OC

21. Application On a ¼ sheet of paper, write a sentence for each sentence pattern.
