Sentence relationships define the functions of the 8 parts of speech: nouns, verbs (including
auxiliary verbs), adjectives, adverbs, articles, conjunctions, pronouns, and prepositions).

Prerequisite knowledge: What is a noun? What is a verb? What is a sentence?

There are six basic or simple sentence patterns:

1. Subject/Predicate, Action Verb


2. Subject/Predicate, Action Verb/Direct Object
3. Subject/Predicate, Action Verb/Adverb
4. Subject/Predicate, Linking Verb/Predicate Nominative
5. Subject/Predicate, Linking Verb/Predicate Adjective
