Grammar worksheet focusing on identifying sentence patterns such as SVO, SVC, and SVOA.

Let's analyze each sentence and identify its sentence pattern based on the following common patterns:

- S = Subject
- V = Verb
- O = Object (Direct Object)
- IO = Indirect Object
- C = Complement (Subject or Object Complement)
- A = Adverbial (adverb, prepositional phrase, etc.)

---

1. She will come

- She = S
- will come = V (modal + main verb) → "come" is an intransitive verb
- No object; no complement
✔ Pattern: SV
👉 Answer: a) SV

---

2. She became a teacher

- She = S
- became = V (linking verb)
- a teacher = C (subject complement – describes the subject)
✔ Pattern: SVC
👉 Answer: d) SVC

---

3. One of the boys must go

- One of the boys = S
- must go = V (modal + main verb) → "go" is intransitive
- No object or complement
✔ Pattern: SV
👉 Answer: d) SV

---

4. I wish you Happy new year

- I = S
- wish = V
- you = IO (indirect object – person being wished for)
- Happy new year = DO (direct object – what is wished)
✔ Pattern: SV IO DO
👉 Answer: b) SV IO DO

> Note: "Happy new year" is a noun phrase acting as direct object.

5. It is dark everywhere

- It = S
- is = V (linking verb)
- dark = C (subject complement – describes the subject)
- everywhere = A (adverbial of place)
✔ Pattern: SVCA
👉 Answer: b) SVCA

---

6. I am a programmer in this company

- I = S
- am = V (linking verb)
- a programmer = C (subject complement)
- in this company = A (adverbial of place)
✔ Pattern: SVCA
👉 Answer: b) SVCA

7. He always dresses neatly

- He = S
- dresses = V
- always = A (adverb of frequency)
- neatly = A (adverb of manner)
✔ Pattern: SVOA? Wait — "dresses" is intransitive. So no object.
→ Actually: S + V + A + A → SVA but with two adverbials
But standard pattern here is SVA (Subject-Verb-Adverbial)
But since there are two adverbials, it’s still SVA, but more precisely SVOAA isn’t standard.

Wait — let's clarify:
- "Dresses" is intransitive.
- "Always" = adverb (frequency)
- "Neatly" = adverb (manner)

So: S + V + A + A → SVA (with multiple adverbials)

But option d) SVOAA is not correct because there's no object.

The correct pattern is SVA → but SVA is not listed as an option?

Wait — options are:
a) SAVA
b) SVCA
c) SVOA
d) SVOAA

None match SVA directly.

But “dresses” is intransitive → no object → so SVA is correct.

But since SVA isn't listed, maybe they consider it as SVOA with implied object?

No — that's wrong.

Wait — actually, "dress" can be transitive or intransitive.

Here: "dresses neatly" → intransitive use.

So: S + V + A + A → SVA (but only one A slot)

But none of the options are just SVA.

Wait — look at a) SAVA — that’s Subject-Verb-Adverb-Adverb — which fits.

But SAVA means: S + V + A + A → yes!

So:
- S = He
- V = dresses
- A = always
- A = neatly

✔ Pattern: SAVA
👉 Answer: a) SAVA

> Note: Some systems label this as SVA, but since SAVA is an option, it's likely intended.

8. He gave the book to him

- He = S
- gave = V
- the book = DO (direct object)
- to him = IO (indirect object)
→ But structure: SV DO IO
But note: "gave the book to him" → the indirect object comes after the preposition.

Standard pattern: SV DO IO → but here, IO is introduced by "to".

Actually, in SV DO IO, the IO usually comes before the DO if it's a noun:
e.g., "He gave him the book" → SV IO DO

But here: "He gave the book to him" → DO first, then prepositional phrase for IO.

So:
- S = He
- V = gave
- DO = the book
- IO = him (via preposition "to")

So the pattern is: SV DO IO
But IO is not a separate noun — it's in a prepositional phrase.

Still, the standard classification is SV DO IO

✔ Pattern: SV DO IO
👉 Answer: c) SV DO IO

> Note: Option d) SV IO DO would be if it were "He gave him the book"

9. The sun shines

- The sun = S
- shines = V (intransitive)
- No object, no complement
✔ Pattern: SV
👉 Answer: b) SV

---

10. I met his friend yesterday

- I = S
- met = V
- his friend = DO
- yesterday = A (time)
✔ Pattern: SVOA
👉 Answer: a) SVOA

---

11. They gave me coffee

- They = S
- gave = V
- me = IO (indirect object)
- coffee = DO (direct object)
✔ Pattern: SV IO DO
👉 Answer: a) SV IO DO

---

12. They gave a pen to him

- They = S
- gave = V
- a pen = DO
- to him = IO (via preposition)
→ Again, SV DO IO
✔ Pattern: SV DO IO
👉 Answer: d) SV DO IO

---
