Six Sentence Patterns Sentence Patterns #1 - Noun / Verb The most basic sentence pattern is a noun followed by a verb. It's important to remember that only verbs that do not require objects (intransitive) are used in this sentence pattern. Examples: People work. Frank eats. This basic sentence pattern can be modified by adding a noun phrase, possessive adjective, as well as other elements. This is true for all the sentence patterns that follow. Examples: People work. -> Our employees work. Frank eats. -> My dog Frank eats. Sentence Patterns #2 - Noun / Verb / Noun The next sentence pattern builds on the first pattern and is used with nouns that can take objects. Examples: John plays softball. The boys are watching TV. Sentence Patterns #3 - Noun / Verb / Adverb The next sentence pattern builds on the first pattern by using an adverb to describe how an action is done. Examples: Thomas drives quickly. Anna doesn't sleep deeply. Sentence Patterns #4 - Noun / Linking Verb / Noun This sentence pattern uses linking verbs to link one noun to another. Linking verbs are also known as equating verbs - verbs which equate one thing with another such as 'be', 'become', 'seem', etc. Examples:

Jack is a student. This seed will become an apple. Sentence Patterns #5 - Noun / Linking Verb / Adjective This sentence pattern is similar to sentence pattern #4, but uses linking verbs to link one noun to its description using an adjective. Examples: My computer is slow! Her parents seem unhappy. Sentence Patterns #6 - Noun / Verb / Noun / Noun Sentence pattern #6 is used with verbs that take both direct and indirect objects. Examples: I bought Katherine a gift. Jennifer showed Peter her car. Of course, you cant unfry an egg, but there is no law against thinking about it. If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles. You see, I have been one of those fellows who live prudently and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I have had my moments. But if I had it to do over again, I would have more of them a lot more. I never go anywhere without a thermometer, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had it to do over, I would travel lighter. If I had my life to live over, I would pay less attention to people telling us we must learn Latin or History; otherwise we will be disgraced and ruined and flunked and failed. I would seek out more teachers who inspire relaxation and fun. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefooted a little earlier in the spring and stay that way a little later in the fall. I would shoot more paper wads at my teachers. I would keep later hours.

Id have more sweethearts. I would go to more circuses. I would be carefree as long as I could, or at least until I got some care- instead of having my cares in advance. I doubt, however, that Ill do much damage with my creed. The opposition is too strong. There are too many serious people trying to get everybody else to be too darned serious.
