Sentence Pattern 3
In this sentence pattern, a noun or noun-substitute follows the verb. This new element is called a direct
object. The verb is called transitive because it transfers the action of the verb to the direct object. The direct
object receives the action of the verb. Observe the pattern and the example sentences. Complete the unfinished
sentences.
Sentence Pattern 4
The following pattern is a further extension of the combination Noun + Verb + Noun. In this pattern, two
nouns follow the verb. The pattern looks like this: Noun + Verb + Noun + Noun. The last noun is the direct
object, and the inside noun (the one next to the verb) is the indirect object. The two objects refer to different
things. Observe the pattern and the example sentences. Complete the unfinished sentences.
