SENTENCE PATTERN
1. S-IV Pattern - The simplest pattern. S stands for subject, IV for intransitive verb. The intransitive verb tells
something about the subject and does not need an object to complete its meaning.
For example:
1. The plan worked!
S IV
2. We cleaned before watching a movie.
S IV
3. It rained last night.
S IV
4. Eula cried.
S IV
5. Shiela laughs loudly.
S IV

2. S-TV-DO Pattern - S stands for subject, TV stands for transitive verb, and DO stands for direct object. A
transitive verb cannot stand on its own. It needs a direct object. The trick here is to make sure our verb
answers questions “what?”
For example:
1. He writes a song.
S TV DO
2. The bank tellers counted the money.
S TV DO
3. She buys a blue dress.
S TV DO
4. Mrs. Go teaches English.
S TV DO

3. S-LV-C Pattern - S stands for subject, LV stands for linking verb, and C stands for complement that
describe it. When we say complement, it tells something about the subject.
For example:
1. Yohan was clever.
S LV C
2. They remained quiet.
S LV C
3. We were realistic.
S LV C
4. Jenny becomes worried.
S LV C

4. S-TV-IO-O - S stands for subject, TV stands for transitive verb, IO stands for indirect object, and O stands
for object. The indirect object also called inner object. The O is the outer object. We usually use these verbs;
give, take, send, mail, hand, tell, lend, read, show, bring, sell, serve and etc.
For example:
1. My grandmother tells us many stories.
S TV IO O
2. Athena gave her the answer.
S TV IO O
3. They showed the leader great respect.
S TV IO O

5. S-TV-O-OC - S stands for subject, TV stands for transitive verb, O stands for object, and OC stands for
objective complement. The objective complement is the same as the object.
For example:
1. Many thought Sam smart.
S TV O OC
2. Ella painted the wall yellow.
S TV O OC
3. She called the visitor polite.
S TV O OC
4. The crew believes Jane honest.
S TV O OC
