Sentence pattern identification worksheet with multiple-choice questions.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and figure out the correct pattern.

We’ll use these abbreviations:
- S = Subject (who or what the sentence is about)
- V = Verb (the action or state)
- O = Object (receives the action)
- C = Complement (describes or renames the subject or object)
- A = Adverbial (tells where, when, how — often a prepositional phrase or adverb)

6. Birds fly in the sky ______ .

“Birds” = Subject
“fly” = Verb
“in the sky” = Adverbial (where?) → SVA

Wait — option says “SVCA”? That’s not standard. But looking at choices:

a. SVCA — probably typo? Should be SVA
b. SVO — no object
c. SVA — yes!

Actually, “in the sky” is an adverbial of place → so SVA

But option c is SVA → that’s correct.

✔ Answer: c. SVA

*(Note: Option a says “SVCA” — likely a mistake. We ignore it since SVA is available.)*
