Lesson Plan of Sentence Structure

Students’ Learning Outcomes

·         Recognize and use simple SVO pattern sentences with direct and indirect objects.

Information for Teachers

·         The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that is execution the action of the sentence. The subject embodies what or whom the sentence is about. The simple subject commonly holds a noun or pronoun and can comprise modifying words, phrases, or clauses.
Sentence Structure
·         The verb: In a sentence, the verb states what the subject does (He hopes for the job) or what the subject is (He is confident). All verbs are one of three kinds:
o   Action verbs
o   Linking verbs
o   Helping verbs
·         Object: Object receives the action of the sentence. The direct object is commonly a noun or pronoun.
·         The subject of a sentence is what the sentence about.
·         The Verb in a sentence is the action word.
·         The object receives the action of the verb.
·         Ayesha (subject) reads (verb) a book (object)
·         Subject–verb–object (SVO) is a sentence structure where the subject comes first, the verb second and the object third.
