SVOC is a clause pattern where S is the Subject, V is a transitive verb (a verb that needs an object), O is the object and C is an object complement (for example an adjective or verb phrase that is linked to the object and completes the sentence.)

Examples of this pattern:

The man made me angry.

S V O C (adj.)

This pattern causes difficulties for second language learners because of the uncertainty of what a complement is and what types of complements are acceptable. For example, it is quite common for non-native English speakers to create incorrect sentences like the following...

The man made me anger. (X)

This sentence is wrong because 'anger' is a noun and therefore cannot be linked to the object which is also a noun.

What are the types of Chomsky grammar?

Different types of grammar. Stratificational grammar, transformational grammar, universal grammar, tagmemic grammar, phrase structure grammar, incorporating grammar, synthetic grammar, inflectional grammar, analytic grammar, distributive grammar, isolating grammar, traditional grammar, the new grammar*. -- (from Webster's New World Dictionary) RobbieWell, this question is harder to answer than it looks. Grammar can be subdivided in several different ways. (1) English education majors often study traditional, structural and generative grammars, which are different means of studying language. (2) On the other hand, you might be looking for standards of grammar, which would include prescriptive (rules of do and don't), descriptive (descriptions of what speakers and writers actually do), and formal (grammar used in computer programming). (3) Grammar, also, has several subfields: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.
