Heyo Pwips! Let\u2019s look at our two new sentence patterns!<\/p>\n
So far we\u2019ve had the following patterns:<\/p>\n
S-V<\/p>\n
S-V-SC<\/p>\n
S-V-DO<\/p>\n
S-V-DO-OC<\/p>\n
S-V-IO-DO<\/p>\n
This chapter, we are adding 2 more:<\/p>\n
S-V-AC<\/p>\n
S-V-DO-AC<\/p>\n
Remember that AC stands for \u201cadverbial complement\u201d. The difference between these two sentence patterns is that one (S-V-AC) represents a sentence with an intransitive verb, and the other (S-V-DO-AC) represents a sentence with a transitive verb. Remember that a transitive verb always has direct objects (DO). Oppositely, an intransitive verb does not.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n Snoopy crept under the bed.<\/em><\/p>\n This sentence is an example of S-V-AC with the PrepPhr \u201cunder the bed\u201d functioning as an AC.<\/p>\n Charlie Brown kicked the football into the tree.<\/em><\/p>\n This sentence is an example of S-V-DO-AC with \u201cthe football\u201d functioning as DO, and \u201cinto the tree\u201d functioning as AC.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Heyo Pwips!
