Here is the solution to the "Identify the sentence pattern" worksheet, with explanations for each answer.
---
1. Birds fly.
* Answer: a) SV
* Explanation: This is a simple sentence with a Subject (Birds) and a Verb (fly). There is no object or complement. "Fly" is an intransitive verb here.
2. The cat killed the rat.
* Answer: a) SVO
* Explanation: Subject (The cat) + Verb (killed) + Object (the rat). "Killed" is a transitive verb requiring a direct object.
3. Everyday Papu drinks tea.
* Answer: b) ASVO
* Explanation: Adverb (Everyday) + Subject (Papu) + Verb (drinks) + Object (tea). The adverb "Everyday" modifies the verb and comes at the beginning of the sentence.
4. Close the door.
* Answer: a) VO
* Explanation: This is an imperative sentence. The subject "you" is implied and not stated. So, we have Verb (Close) + Object (the door).
5. I gave a book to my friend.
* Answer: b) SVDOIO
* Explanation: Subject (I) + Verb (gave) + Direct Object (a book) + Indirect Object (to my friend). "To my friend" tells *to whom* the book was given. (Note: Some grammars might label this as SVOA, but SVDOIO is the most precise for showing both objects).
6. He is angry.
* Answer: a) SVC
* Explanation: Subject (He) + Verb (is) + Complement (angry). "Is" is a linking verb, and "angry" describes the subject.
7. Velan is a lawyer.
* Answer: c) SVC
* Explanation: Subject (Velan) + Verb (is) + Complement (a lawyer). "Is" is a linking verb, and "a lawyer" renames/identifies the subject.
8. Suresh met Ramesh at Mumbai.
* Answer: b) SVOA
* Explanation: Subject (Suresh) + Verb (met) + Object (Ramesh) + Adverbial (at Mumbai). "At Mumbai" tells *where* the meeting happened.
9. She danced beautifully.
* Answer: a) SVA
* Explanation: Subject (She) + Verb (danced) + Adverbial (beautifully). "Danced" is intransitive, and "beautifully" modifies the verb, telling *how* she danced.
10. Ram lives happily.
* Answer: a) SVA
* Explanation: Subject (Ram) + Verb (lives) + Adverbial (happily). "Lives" is intransitive, and "happily" modifies the verb, telling *how* he lives.
11. Horses run fast.
* Answer: a) SVA
* Explanation: Subject (Horses) + Verb (run) + Adverbial (fast). "Run" is intransitive, and "fast" modifies the verb, telling *how* they run.
12. He lent me 1000 rupees.
* Answer: c) SVDOIO
* Explanation: Subject (He) + Verb (lent) + Direct Object (1000 rupees) + Indirect Object (me). "Me" is the recipient of the rupees.
13. He named his son Ram.
* Answer: a) SVOC
* Explanation: Subject (He) + Verb (named) + Object (his son) + Complement (Ram). "Named" is a causative verb; "Ram" is a complement that renames/identifies the object "his son".
