Sentence Pattern in English (fundamentos de la estructura básica del Inglés)Lesson 1 (Basic)

Cuando tenemos una oración es bueno saber su estructura para poder entendernos mejor durante el proceso de aprendizaje.

En las clases que siguan me referiré a los términos de la oración para hacer correcciones o para enfatizar algunos puntos. Es algo que muchos profesores no dan mucha importancia pero que crea una uniformidad y orden entre alumnos y el profesor.

Hablaremos de :

- Nouns / Subjects / adjectives / verbs / adverbs / complement / modifiers

•Nouns : (sustantivos)

Names a person, place, thing or idea (Nombra a una persona, lugar, cosa, o idea)

Examples: John, love, world, picture, Madrid

•Subject: (Sujeto)

It is the person, place, thing or idea (a noun) that does the action of a sentence and it goes before the verb. (Es el sustantivo que realiza la accion de la oracion)

Examples of Subjects:

- George likes boats (George and boats are nouns but George is the subject)

- The weather was horrible yesterday.

- The bank closed early.

•Verb (verbo)

It shows the action of the subject. Every sentence must have a verb. (Hace la acción del sujeto y toda oracion necesita de un verbo)

Examples:

- My wife went to France.

- We have studied English all night.

- I am writing a letter.

- She works for IBM company.

 Adjective (adjetivo): Describes a noun (califica a un sustantivo) - Examples : Blue house , old man, interesting book, pretty woman etc…

 Adverb (adverbio): Describes the verb or adjective. (califica al verbo o adjetivo) – Examples: He walks slowly / He studies quietly (muchas veces acaba en -ly)

•Complement:

It completes the verb and it is usually a noun or noun phrase. Every sentence does not require a complement. The complement answers the question what? or whom? (Es el complemento del verbo y no es requerido tenerlo en toda oración).

 Modifiers: Tells about the time, place or manner of the action. (Hable del tiempo, lugar y manera de accion del verbo)

Subject Verb Complement Modifier

John and I ate a pizza last week

We studied english last night
