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.
