Lesson No 25C-Forming Basic Sentences

Forming Basic Sentences

A basic sentence typically follows the Subject + Verb + Object structure.

Subject: The person or thing performing the action.

Verb: The action word.

Object: The person or thing receiving the action.

Examples:

• She (subject) eats (verb) an apple (object).
• The dog (subject) chases (verb) the cat (object).
• I (subject) love (verb) music (object).

Note: Not all sentences require an object. Some verbs are intransitive and do not need an object.

• He (subject) runs (verb).
• The baby (subject) sleeps (verb).

Forming Basic Sentences: Rules and Tips

Basic sentence structure typically follows the Subject + Verb + Object pattern.

Subject

• The subject is the person, place, or thing that performs the action.
• Examples: I, she, the cat, the book

Verb

• The verb is the action word.
• Examples: run, eat, play, is, are

Object
