BASIC SIMPLE SENTENCES: PATTERN 3
BASIC SIMPLE SENTENCES: PATTERN 3
BASIC SIMPLE SENTENCES: PATTERN 3
This pattern has 4 parts: subject, predicator, indirect object, and the direct object.The subject, direct object, and indirect objects are all realised with nouns and pronouns, noun phrases.
1. He gave her a ring.2. David gave Kemi a ring.3. The gentleman gave the lady a ring.
Analysing the first example: The subject HE performs the action.The predicator GAVE is the action being performed.The HER is the indirect object.The A RING is the direct object receiving the action performed by the subject.
The function of the indirect object is to receive the direct object and it is found in-between the predicator and the direct object.
It can also be found at the end of the direct object (A RING) but it must be preceded by a preposition: He gave a ring to her.
TAKE AWAY:One of the truest tests for integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised. ––– Chinua Achebe
