Sentence patterns are determined by how the subject, verb, and objects are used. There are from 7 to 10 depending on your source, because linking verbs may be considered as separate patterns. The basic 5 are:

  1. Subject + Verb

    I swim. Joe swims. They swam.

  2. Subject + Verb + Object

    I drive a car. Joe plays the guitar. They ate dinner.

  3. Subject + Verb + Complement

    I am busy. Joe became a doctor. They look sick.

  4. Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object

    I gave her a gift. She teaches us English.

  5. Subject + Verb + Object + Complement
