Sentence Patterns from a Functional Perspective |
FUNCTION ![]() |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In order to summarise
what we have learned, we will now look at some typical sentence patterns
from a functional perspective. We will then conclude this section by looking
at some untypical patterns, on the next page.
As we've seen, the Subject
is usually (but not always) the first element in a sentence, and it is
followed by the verb:
Pattern 1
Pattern 2
In the ditransitive pattern, the verb is followed by an Indirect Object and a Direct Object, in that order: Pattern 3
Pattern 4
![]() Match the sentences to the patterns: ... |
The patterns for these sentences are shown in the table below:
ردحذف(Adjunct)
Subject
Verb
Indirect Object
Direct Object
(Adjunct)
Sentence 1 The wall collapsed = Pattern A
Sentence 2 During the war many people lost their homes = Pattern D
Sentence 3 I promised the children a trip to the zoo = Pattern C
Sentence 4 When he was 12 David moved to London = Pattern E
Sentence 5 Paul hired a bicycle = Pattern B
Notice that only the Subject and the Verb slots are filled in every sentence. Adjuncts are always optional, and Objects only occur with certain verbs.
