Sentence using word pattern - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Sentence patterns are something that all English speakers struggle with, here are some patterns to help you form sentences with ease.

Let’s first take a look at the patterns, and then we’ll make some sentences.

The Patterns/ Word Patterns Definition

1. Pattern

The verb to be as the main verb in the sentence.

is
are
was
were
has been/have been
had been

2. Pattern

Linking verb + a noun or Linking verb + an adjective (in this case the adjective functions as the subject of the sentence)

Examples:

smell
taste
look
feel
seem
become
appear
grow

3. Pattern

An action verb is used as the main verb in the sentence. The action verb can be transitive, where is takes an object in a direction, or non- transitive, where it does not takes an object in a direction.

Basic Parts of Speech

We’re going to break down some example sentences that use these three patterns. Here are some basic parts of speech that you will need to know to follow along.

Parts of a sentence that matter.

The subject of the sentence

This is who or what the sentence is about. You can find it by simply asking the question who did something or what are we talking about.

Verb to be

This verb uses the forms is, am, and are in the present tense, as well as was and were in the past tense, and will be in the future tense. Been and being are it’s past participle forms.

Linking Verbs

Linking verbs link the subject of the sentence to the action of the sentence. For example My cat is fat. My cat is the subject of the sentence and the action (or what I’m saying about him) is that he’s fat. Those two words are linked together by the word is.

Another example is My cat appears fat. My cat is still the subject, and I’m still saying he’s fat. I link those two words together with the word appears.

Here’s an extra hint to tell if a verb is a linking verb. Any linking verb can be replaced with a form of the verb to be.

A linking verb is any form of the verb to be, plus verbs that refer to the five senses. Here are some linking verbs that are often used, taste, become, appear, grow, feel, look, stay, turn, remain, seem,smell, and sound.

Action verb

These are things that you do. If something is an action verb you can physically do it; walk, run, jump, give, hold. You can also add ing to action verbs.

Time or place

This just tells when or where something happened. For example this includes the words, here, there, this morning, tomorrow, at home, at school, and last year.

Adjective

This describes a noun. For example blue car, pink pig, pretty girl. These are all describing words.

If this feels like a lot of grammar, don’t be overwhelmed. The most important things to remember are…. (please notice the abbreviations that we will use when building sentences)

Subject=S– this is who or what the sentence is about.

The verb to be = Vbe (this is probably the first verb you learned)

Linking Verb= LV – these include the verb to be and the five sense (taste, smell, look, feel, touch)

Action Verbs=AV– these are something you can physically do.

Time or Place=TP– this is when and where something happens.

Adjectives= A– these are words that describe people, objects, and places (nouns)

Noun= N– is a person, place or thing.

Forming Sentences

Ok, let’s make some sentences!

Let’s start simple.

Subject + the Verb to be+ an action verb

I am walking.

S+ Vbe+ AV

She was running.

S+ Vbe+ AV

We will be playing.

S+ Vbe+ AV

Notice all of the action verbs end in “ing”, that is always the case with the verb to be.

Now let’s change things up a bit. Instead of using a basic pronoun as the subject, let’s use another noun.

The dog is walking.

S+ Vbe+ AV

Mary was running.

S+ Vbe+ AV

The teams will be playing.

S+ Vbe+ AV

Now let’s add a place.

Subject + the Verb to be+ an action verb+ a place

The dog is walking in the park.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP

Mary was running away.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP

The teams will be playing here.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP

Now let’s add time. Time phrases usually go at the beginning or the end of a sentence. In a compound sentence they can go at the beginning or end of either clause of the sentence.

The dog is walking in the park right now.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP+ TP

Yesterday, Mary was running away.

TP+ S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP

The teams will be playing here tomorrow.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP+ TP

Now let’s add an adjective to our sentences. These will go before the noun, which could be the subject.

The lazy dog is walking in the park right now.

A+ S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP+ TP

The dog is walking in the biggest park right now.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ A+ TP+ TP

Yesterday Mary was running away quickly.

S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP+ TP+ A

The best teams will be playing here tomorrow.

A+ S+ Vbe+ AV+ TP+ TP

Here are some other ways the you can easily organize sentence.

The coffee cup is over there.

S + Vbe +TP

The chairs will be here tomorrow

S + Vbe +TP+ TP

The flowers couldn’t be more beautiful.

S+ Vbe+ A

The kids are at the game.

S+ Vbe + TP+ Noun

The computer looks broken.

S+ LV+ A

The kitten became a cat.

S+ LV= Noun

She runs downtown.

S+ AV + Noun

Jack walked home quickly.

S+ AV+ Noun + A

Sam showed he is a loyal friend.

S+ AV+ Noun+Vbe+ A+ N

Sentence Patterns – What They Are and How to Use Them

English learners and writers are required to study different aspects of the language, i.e. nouns, verbs, adjectives etc. But that is not enough. They also have to consider the sentence as a whole. This means you have to learn basic sentence patterns.

In this article, we have discussed what is a sentence pattern and why it is important. We have also discussed different patterns with examples.

What is a sentence pattern?

A sentence pattern is an arrangement of words. This arrangement needs to be in a grammatically correct structure. It means the placement of verbs and nouns should be correct to form a meaningful sentence. Apart from that, there are punctuations which play an important role in making a sentence readable and understandable.

Without the correct placement of words, you can not express your thoughts properly while speaking. Same way, without proper use of punctuations, you can’t express your thoughts effectively in writing. Note that the structure and pattern differ for different languages.

Why are sentence patterns important?

When you are writing an assignment, the pattern and structure of a sentence will be the most important things for you to consider. In order to make your sentences meaningful and effective, you will have to learn how to make correct sentences using different patterns.

If you are a student or a beginner in the writing field, learning and mastering the patterns will help you perform well in your English language tests. It will also help you improve your writing skills in English. There are several patterns of sentences, but we will discuss some of the most common and basic patterns.

Basic parts of the sentence patterns

In English, if you want to write a sentence, you have to use to important parts which are subjects and verbs. When putting together, they will express your thoughts in an understandable sentence. Here, a subject is used either a noun or pronoun form and says what or who is doing an action. And the verb represents the action or a state what is happening, for example, “drink” is an action while “depend” can be said a state verb.
A good example ofa simple sentence containing a subject and a verb is “Smith walked.” In this example, Smith is a subject who is doing an action, i.e. “walked”.
In actual use, we don’t speak or write such short sentences. Because we would want to explain the idea in a more clear manner or emphasis on a particular subject or an action. For example, when we see a sentence like “Smith walked.”, we would have questions like “to where?”, “how much?”, “with how much intensity?”, “with whom?” etc.
To answer these question, we generally use more words like modifiers, comparative words, phrases etc. For example, the new sentence with an adverb would be “Smith walked swiftly”.

What is a clause?

Take the example from the previous paragraph, i.e. “Smith walked swiftly”. This collection of words delivers a meaning or a thought and is collectively called a clause.

Understanding the parts and clause will further help you understand the sentence patterns. We have already discussed the parts, i.e. the subject and the verb, along with appropriate examples in the previous section. In this section, we have discussed the clause.
A combination of a subject and a verb means a clause. There are particularly two types of clauses. i.e. Independent clause and Dependent clause.

Independent clause

Independent clause means a sentence containing a subject and verb that provides a complete meaning or a thought on its own. No further words or support is needed to explain it.

Dependent clause

This type of clause is made of a sentence that is not a complete one and needs a support of an independent clause.

What is a compound?

Whilst in a sentence you can use many words and phrases, it will mainly have two parts, i.e. a subject and a verb. But what if they are used twice? i.e. two subjects or two words or both used twice?
Yes, this happens in many sentences and is called a compound. This is not only useful in making a clear and correctly conveying sentence but helpful in avoiding unnecessary repetitions of the words. To understand this better, check below examples.

Useful information: Who can fix my paper fast?

Compound subject

Example:John Smith and his team collaborated in the project
In this example, there are two subjects, i.e. “John Smith” and “team” and one verb, i.e. “collaborated”. Thereby in a sentencelike this, you can see that the action is related to the subjects.

Compound verb

Example:John Smith created the documents and presented them at the project meeting.
In this example, you can see that there only one subject, i.e. “John Smith”, but he has performed two different actions, i.e. “created” and “presented”. So these are two verbs related to one subject.

Compound subject with compound verb

Example: John Smith and his team created the documents and presented them at the project meeting.

You can see that there are two subjects and two verbs, and both of them are related to each other. You can also say that this is one clause even if there are double subjects and verbs. This is because they are not overlapping each other. All the subjects are written before the verbs. So it’s a single clause.

There are basically four patterns. Different ways are used to combine clauses in a different pattern. You may have written different patterns without knowing about it. Read your writing assignments and try to identify them. You would note that you have different patterns. If you use only one pattern throughout the content, it will become boring. But practically, this not possible and you would be using different patterns in your writings.

Each pattern is described with an example below. The subject is represented by S and Verb by V in the examples.

Pattern 1: Simple sentence

This pattern contains one independent clause, i.e. one subject and one verb.

Example: Justin plays football

Note the subject and verb. You may have written this type of sentences in your assignments. This pattern has a subject and a verb and makes a complete sentence, so it can be considered as a single clause.

Pattern 2: Compound sentence

This pattern uses two or more independent clauses connected with a comma and connector. It is written as SV, [connector,] SV.

Connectors with comma: for, nor, or, and, but, so, yet

Example: David runs daily in the morning, and doctors see it as a good habit.

Connectors with semicolon and comma: moreover, however, therefore, nonetheless, nevertheless

Example: Working beyond the office hours seems more productive; however, it’s harmful in a long time.

To identify this pattern in your writing assignment, read the sentences carefully and find out the connectors. Note the subjects and verbs used on both sides of the connector in the above-mentioned example of compound sentences. Each side has one subject and one verb, so you can say that each side has one clause.

Pattern 3: Complex sentence

A complex sentence comprises of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Here, the connectors must be used at the beginning of the dependent clause. This way, you can define the relationship of the dependent with the independent clause. It is written as;

SV [connector] SV
[Connector] SV, SV
S, [connector] SV, V.

Connectors for this pattern: because, although, even though, however, wherever, how, where, whether, unless, that, which, who, whom, after, if, as, before, whereas, while, since, when, so that, whenever etc.

See below 5 examples of the complex sentence are as below:

We should do exercise daily because it makes us fit and healthy.
Although packed food tastes delicious, I like fresh and organic food.
Smith, because of his expertise in project management, offered help in preparing a presentation for the new project.
You can drink it whenever you want
Although you are fit and healthy, you should avoid junk food for a healthy future.

Observe your writings in your assignment and see which sentence falls in this pattern. The subjects and verbs are used in different places depending on where the connector is. Also, note how punctuation helps in structuring a meaningful sentence.

Useful information: The best service to do my assignments.

Pattern 4: Compound-complex sentence

The sentences in this pattern comprise two or more independent clauses and also contains one or more dependent clauses. This pattern uses the same connectors mentioned in the patterns 2 and 3. They are written as;

SV, [connector] SV [connector] SV

[connector] SV, SV, [connector] SV

Example:John Smith said that he would help us prepare the presentation; however, if he does, his current project will suffer, but there will be no issue if I help him in the current project.

You can observe that this is a very complex and longer sentence and is a good example of a compound-complex sentence. Note the subjects and verbs used on both the sides of the connectors and observe how punctuation helps in separating the clauses. Though this type of sentence connects multiple thoughts or situations, they can become difficult to understand if not written tactfully. The example above can also be written in two or three sentences in a simple to compound patterns.

However, we can’t ignore the importance of any sentence pattern and all of them have their place in the writing assignments. You have to use them wisely in your content to define and convey your thoughts and ideas effectively.

If you are a beginner, you would better be using simple and compound patterns. As you go ahead and have more experience, you would be more comfortable in using complex and compound-complex patterns.

There are also more patterns in which you can write sentences, but the four basic patterns discussed in this article will make other patterns easier to learn for you.

There is a right pattern to words of English language, be it spoken or written. This “right pattern” is what is known as the sentence pattern in English grammar. It is simply the way a sentence is structured in order to make a certain meaning.

In this piece, the focus will be on what a sentence pattern really is:

What Is a Sentence Pattern?

A sentence pattern is how a sentence is structured using different parts of speech. There are about six different sentence patterns in English language known as the basic sentence patterns.

They include:

Noun/verb
Noun/verb/noun
Noun/verb/adverb
Noun/linking verb/noun
Noun/linking verb/adjective
Noun/verb/noun/noun

From the patterns outlined above, one can see that sentence patterns in English grammar are made of noun, verb, and adverb being tossed around.

We will take them one after the other in details for a better understanding of how they function as grammar sentence patterns:

Noun/verb: this group of sentence pattern is made of verbs that do not require a subject and noun. Of all the sentence patterns in English grammar, the most basic of them all is the noun followed by a verb.

Here are some phrases that serve as examples of the noun/verb sentence pattern:

John smokes
Students study
People ran

Generally, the noun/verb pattern sentences are as simple as just two words put together, one a noun, the other a verb. To make things more interesting, these Basic English grammar sentence patterns can be modified by adding other elements like a noun phrase, possessive adjective, and others.

Here are some modifications to the simple noun/verb sentence patterns listed above:

John smokes – my friend John smokes
Student study – our students’ study
People ran – our athletes ran

As you can see in the sentence pattern in English grammar examples, the modified sentences are basically the same as the earlier ones. The only difference is that the second ones are more precise than the first.

Noun/verb/noun: the noun/verb/noun English grammar pattern sentences are developed from the noun/verb basic sentence pattern. In this pattern, a noun/verb basic grammar pattern is used with a noun that can take objects.

Here are some examples:

Tony jumps rope
The children are making pastries
He sleeps in the house

So, there is a noun, a verb, and a noun that can take objects in the noun/verb/noun as you can see in the example of sentence pattern above.

Noun/verb/adverb: the third basic sentence pattern in English grammar is the noun/verb/adverb pattern. Obviously, they are sentences structured by using nouns, verbs, and adverbs per time. It is also developed from the noun/verb structure, the addition being a description of how an action is carried out; which is the function of the adverb in the structure.

Examples of the noun/verb/adverb sentence pattern are:

Laura ate very fast
He talks carefully
Jane jumps high

From the instances above, the terms fast, carefully, and high are all adverbs describing the noun/verb structures, making them noun/verb/adverb structures.

Noun/linking verb/noun: this is a bit different from all other basic sentence patterns. In this structure, a linking verb is used to link one noun to another. This means there must be two nouns and a linking verb to make up the noun/linking verb/noun structure.

Here are some sentence pattern with examples:

Toby is a sailor
Kenneth will become Stephanie’s husband
France is a country

Linking verbs are also known as equating verbs that can equate one thing with another as can be seen in the illustrations above.

Noun/linking verb/adjective: this basic sentence pattern comprises of a noun, a linking verb, and an adjective. It is slightly similar to the noun/linking verb/noun sentence pattern. The only difference is that the noun/linking verb/adjective sentence pattern links a noun and an adjective with a linking verb, while the noun/linking verb/noun links two nouns with a linking verb.

Here are a few illustrations:

The children are unhappy
My dog is slow
The math problem seem easy

The linking verbs here, just like in the noun/linking verb/noun sentence pattern, can also be referred to as equating verbs.

Noun/verb/noun/noun: this basic sentence pattern is used with verbs that take both direct and indirect objects. It is structured in a way that a noun comes first, then a verb, a noun, and another noun.

Here are some examples of a noun/verb/noun/noun grammar sentence pattern:

Mother bought Thelma a gift
I showed Vin my car
His father taught him how to drive a car

There are other complicated sentence patterns than the six that have been illustrated in the piece, but these are the basic ones that all other patterns are formed from.

Grammar Mistakes That Can Affect the Credibility of Your Writing

There are a lot of people that love to write but are not concerned about grammar. As a matter of fact, trying to focus on the grammatical correctness of your paragraphs can but a bit of a strain on your writing flow and creativity. That is why many prefer to go right from the beginning to the end and make the necessary corrections thereafter. Despite how much focus and fun it takes away from ones way of writing, basic sentence pattern in English grammar is something every writer should take into consideration if the aim is to gain effective communication and respect from the readers.

Some of the grammar mistakes that can kill one’s credibility as a writer are:

Subject-verb agreement: it is a rule that the subject and verb of a sentence agree with one another in quantity, be it singular or plural. The verb is only singular if the subject of the sentence is singular and plural only when the subject of the sentence is plural.

Here are some examples:

Wrong: An important thing in her life have been family
Right: An important thing in her life has been family
Wrong: Her two favorite colors are red and pink
Right: Her two favorite colors are red and pink

Sentence fragments: sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that do not have an independent clause. Usually, it lacks either or both a subject or a verb. Since it has no independent clause, it cannot make a meaning on its own. A normal sentence pattern in English language is such that every sentence fragment depends on preceding sentences to give it a meaning.

Here are some illustrations:

Wrong: He protected her interest at the meeting. In spite of her disloyalty
Right: In spite of her disloyalty, he protected her interest
Wrong: They were willing to stay out till late in the night. Despite the consequences
Right: They were willing to stay out till late in the night, despite the consequences

Comma in introductory elements: there are different ways of using a comma in different English writing pattern, one of which is after an introductory element. Throwing in commas (and punctuation market in general) without considerations causes confusion to the reader. Not using them in the right places can equally cause the same effects. Basic sentence pattern in English grammar demands that an introductory word, a phrase, or a clause be followed by a comma to give the reader a slight pause, help avoid confusion, and ultimately convey the right message as intended by the writer.

Here are some illustrations:

Wrong: In case you are interested I can help you take care of your dogs
Right: In case you are interested, I can help you take care of your dogs
Wrong: Before he could say no his mother already said yes
Right: Before he could say no, his mother already said yes

Misuse Of “Its” And “It’s”

A lot of time, writers tend to use “its” in place of “it’s”, and that can put the reader off. “It’s is a short form for “it is” or “it has”, while “its” means “belongs to it”.

EXAMPLES:
Wrong: It’s going to be interesting
Right: It’s (it is) going to be interesting
Wrong: It’s been a long time coming
Right: It’s (it has) been a long time coming
Wrong: The cat is licking its tail
Right: The cat is licking its tail

Sentence examples for word pattern from inspiring English sources

The idea of identifying bullying through word pattern recognition that cannot be circumvented is sadly laughable.

«I ask myself why we can’t identify cyberbullying when it happens on social media platforms by word pattern recognition, and then prevent it happening.

He told the Commons health committee on suicide prevention efforts that he asks himself «why it is that you can’t prevent the texting of sexually explicit images by people under the age of 18» and «why we can’t identify cyberbullying when it happens on social media platforms by word pattern recognition, and then prevent it».

The experiment and simulation are presented and the application to translation between a Chinese word pattern to an English word one is demonstrated.

In two picture word interference (PWI) experiments we investigated the lexical status of the two primary morphemes: the root and the word pattern (WP), with the effects of morphological, phonological and semantic relatedness between written distractors and picture names.

However, Semitic languages have a nonconcatenative morphology in which the root and word pattern do not combine via affixation, and the letters of these two components intermingle to form a word.

For example, in the word , the root consonants appear as the second, third, and final letters and are combined with other letters that form the word pattern.
