Is it difficult to construct a short simple sentence ?

What is a sentence?

Sentence = Subject + Predicate

• Subject – thing or person we talk about

•Predicate – what we say about the subject

(content)

• What is a predicate?• Predicate = verb + object • So,• Sentence • = Subject + Verb + Object

• Verb => 1. Intransitive • ( verb that stands alone )• 2. Transitive • ( used with an object )

1. She sings well.2. We walk slowly.3. He sleeps soundly.

(intransitive verbs)

1. Maria puts a book.2. They buy a new car.3. He threw the bottle. (transitive verbs)

• We also can talk about time and place where an event takes place. (complement) Eg.

1.She puts a book on the table.2.They bought a car yesterday.3.He runs in the field.4.Mia reads a book in the room.5.They bought a car yesterday.(subject) (verb) (object) (complement)

• TIPS: What Do U Check?1. Subject Verb Agreement

Singular noun takes a singular verb. Eg,

• He is handsome. • She was helpful. • It has a trunk.• He writes a letter. • She is working in the office. • Kelvin has broken the pencil.• Siti does not like durians.

Plural noun takes a plural verb. Eg,

• They are my cousins.• We were classmates.• They have a new born baby.• We walk to school. • They are playing in the field. • The boys have taken lunch.• They do not want to stand.

2 . Article for singular countable nouns.

• He cuts a / the tree with a / the saw.• A / The tiger has no mane.• The tiger is in danger of becoming extinct.

3. Prepositions (place, time, object)• I go to school at 7 o’clock every day.• The girls are playing netball on the field.• I keep the key in the drawer.• She waits for her mother at the bus stop.• He hits the nail with a hammer.• They received presents from their uncle.
