Step-by-step solution for: Sentence pattern | Find Teacher Post Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Identify the sentence pattern of the following sentences" in English. The task is to identify the sentence pattern for each of the 30 given sentences.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you’ve provided (which seems to be copied from the image). Let’s go through each sentence and determine its sentence pattern using standard grammatical patterns.

In English grammar, sentence patterns are categorized based on their structure: Subject (S), Verb (V), Object (O), Complement (C), Adverbial (A).
Common patterns include:
1. S + V – Intransitive verb (no object)
2. S + V + O – Transitive verb with direct object
3. S + V + C – Linking verb with subject complement
4. S + V + O + C – Complex transitive (e.g., "I consider him smart")
5. S + V + O + O – Double object (e.g., "She gave me a book")
6. S + V + A – Action verb with adverbial (time, place, manner)
Let’s analyze each sentence one by one.
