Today's Summary

We had studied mainly FOUR type of sentences. These are following :

  1. Assertive Sentence
  2. Interrogative Sentence
  3. Imperative Sentence

Today we have studied Assertive Sentences in detail and learnt the following different structures of it :

  • The Standard Structure
  • Structure with Causative Verbs
  • Structure in Simple Tenses
  • Use of 'It'
  • Use of 'There'

The Standard Structure

Sentences are generally studied in two voices [i.e. Active and Passive] so there are two Standard Structure of an Assertive Sentence.

Active Voice :

Sub. + (H.V.) + M.V.(form) + ob. + ---.

Passive Voice :

Ob. + H.V. + M.V.(III) + by sub. + ---.

Causative Verbs

  • make(form) :
    Sub + (H.V.) + make(form) + Ind. ob. + M.V.(I) + ---.
  • cause(form) :
    Sub + (H.V.) + cause(form) + ind. ob. + to + M.V.(I) + ---.
  • get/have(form) :
    Sub + (H.V.) + get/have(form) + dir. ob. + M.V.(III) + ---.

Simple Tenses

Simple tenses are different from the [Indefinite Tenses]. They have their own H.Vs. like [do/does/did etc.] and a proper verb. But the Simple Tenses have no [Proper Verb]. They have only a single verb in the [form of 'Be']. See the structure below :

Structure :

Sub. + be(form) + (adj.) + Noun + ---.

Use of 'It'

'It' has various types of structures. Generally, this type of sentences have a proper verb but do not have the Subject. You should watch the video to see the examples.

Use of 'There'

"What is where?" This question is answered when we speak a sentence using 'There' as the subject. These sentences lack not only a proper verb but also the subject.

Structure :

There. + be(form) + determiner + Noun + ---.

In the next class, we will be learning Negative Sentences.
