S-TV-DO

Examples:

1. Carl bakes cookies.

”Carl” is your subject, “bakes” is your verb, while “cookies” is your direct object.

2. Cathleen brought flowers yesterday.

“Cathleen” is your subject, “brought” is your verb, and “flowers” is your direct object.

S-LV-C

Examples:

She is so pathetic.

“She” is the subject, “is” is the linking verb, and “pathetic” is yhe complement, specifically PA since it is an adjective.

Jazel seems sick.

“Jazel” is the subject, “seems” is the linking verb, and “sick” is the complement, specifically PA since it is an adjective.

S-TV-IO-DO

Examples:

Anna gave him flowers.

“Anna” is the subject, “gave” is the verb, “him” is the indirect object, and “flowers” is the direct object.

She bought her mother a cellphone.

”She” is the subject, “bought” is the verb, “mother” is the indirect object, and “cellphone” is the direct object.

the SUBJECT can be called the “shining star” of the sentence. it’s what or who the sentence is about. • the cat ate her sister. subject: cat, • the grandma broke her bones with ease. subject: grandma • he talks to his toes. subject: he a TRANSITIVE VERB is a verb (action word) that requires a direct object. • he cries. cry is not transitive because it can stand on its own already. • he drinks. drink is transitive because you’d say “drink what?” it can’t stand on its own. therefore you add a direct object >> he drinks pizza juice. • she feeds. feed is transitive because you have to say what of who is being fed. >> she feeds the fetus. a DIRECT OBJECT is the receiver of the action. • my dad loves the maid. “the maid” is direct object because she’s the one being loved. • the koala chewed the giraffe’s neck. “giraffe’s neck” is the object because it’s the one being chewed. • the killer killed the noisy doll. “the noisy doll” is the direct object because it was the one killed. am sorry i can’t define more (the blahblah part didn’t help) i hope the above explanations helped you in anyway. good luck in that presentation.!
