Aim

• We are learning to understand how subject-verb-object sentences are

constructed so that we can write sentences correctly.

Success Criteria
• I will know I am successful when I have made a range of different, simple
sentences using my knowledge of subject-verb-object.
What is Subject-Verb-Object?
A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb. Sometimes,
they also contain an object and are often in this order:

This makes a complete sentence.

beginning - the subject

middle - the verb

end - object
Subject-Verb-Object?
The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about.

The verb tells us what happened.

The object tells us what is affected by the verb.

Lots of things can be the subject of a sentence.

our sentence to tell us who the sentence is about?
What words can I use for the verb?
