    The passage discusses basic English sentence patterns, including the subject-verb-object pattern and sentences that can have two objects without 'and'. It also provides exercises to practice forming sentences.

    The two types of sentence patterns discussed are the subject-verb-object pattern and sentences that can have both a direct object and an indirect object.

    The pattern for sentences with both a direct and indirect object is: Subject – Verb – Indirect Object – Direct Object.

    Basic English Sentence Patterns

    A. When we make simple English sentences, we usually follow the


    Subject-Verb-Object pattern.
    Steps:
    1. put the subject and the adjectives such as ‘fat’, ‘thin’ etc. or any
    words describing the subject at the beginning of the sentence
    2. put the verb and some adverbs such as ‘often’, ‘usually’ etc. after
    the subject
    3. put the object of the verb, the adjectives or other words describing the
    object and the adverbs describing the verb at the end of he sentence

    Subject Verb Object

    Paul often eats biscuits.


    Mary ate two apples quickly.
    My father and mother are eating mangoes now.
    The fat girl has eaten a watermelon.
    That little boy will eat some bread soon.

    Exercise 1
    Rearrange the words in correct order to make complete sentences.
    e.g. the fat cat / a mouse / is chasing.

    B. Some verbs can be followed by two objects without an ‘and’ connecting them. One
    of these objects is called the ‘direct object’ and the other the ‘indirect object’. Below is
    the pattern of a sentence containing both direct object and indirect object:
    Subject – Verb – Indirect Object – Direct Object
