Dear blogger, how is your day? Hope, everything is wonderful...After finishing all of my duty today, i remember that i have promised with you to continue the next explanation about the basic patterns of sentence. Well, is there anyone able to apply the four patterns into sentence?
It doesn't matter if you cannot apply them yet. Let's discuss it together here...
We will discuss the patterns of sentence step by step so that you understand, starting from the first pattern:
a. A single noun as subject
Example:
- Morning breaks
(morning as subject, breaks as predicate)
- Aisha gets lost
(Aisha as subject, gets lost as predicate)
- Hafiz goes out
(Hafiz as subject, goes out as predicate)
b. Pronoun as subject
Pronoun is a word that takes the place of noun.
The word can be: They, we, I. you, he, she.
Example:
- It (morning) breaks
(it as subject, breaks as predicate)
- They (students) study
(they as subject, study as predicate)
- He (Tomm) goes out
(he as subject, goes out as predicate)
c. A noun phrase as subject
A noun phrase is a group of words that generally ends with a noun as a head word. It can contain a determiner (the, a, an, this, etc), adjective, adverb, and noun.
Example:
- The colorful birds fly
(the colorful birds as subject, fly as predicate)
- Those camels eat
(those camels as subject, eat as predicate)

We will discuss the patterns of sentence step by step so that you understand, starting from the first pattern:
Subject + Predicate
This pattern is the simplest sentence pattern in English. The subject can be a single noun, pronoun, noun phrase, and the predicate always has a verb that tells what the subject does, acts, changes, and is. Every sentence must have subject and predicate. The verb used in this pattern usually takes an intransitive verb (a verb that does not require an object) and a verb of predicating verb (verb of action), not linking verb (to be: am, is, are, was, were; and stative verb: appear, look, seem, become, sound, taste, grow, etc.a. A single noun as subject
Example:
- Morning breaks
(morning as subject, breaks as predicate)
- Aisha gets lost
(Aisha as subject, gets lost as predicate)
- Hafiz goes out
(Hafiz as subject, goes out as predicate)
b. Pronoun as subject

- He (Tomm) goes out
(he as subject, goes out as predicate)
