I have my english theory exam in 20 minutes and this was really helpful in revising this topic! I'd always get confused between adverbials and Complements, and now its all clear! Thank you!!
Hi Jennifer , I have been watching your RUclips videos for more than one year and half .And you have the biggest role in improving my English skills .Thank you a lot .I owe you a deep debt of gratitude .You are the best teacher I've ever met .
Hello Ahmad. That is absolutely wonderful to hear. Thank you for posting your comment. By the way, there's still time to share a video message for my YT anniversary video if that's something you're comfortable doing: facebook.com/englishwithjenniferlebedev/photos/a.1130546176957798.1073741828.1129429583736124/1590929590919452/?type=3&theater
NOTE: I apologize for making a slip of the tongue twice towards the end. I said "sentence" instead of "subject." The pattern is subject + verb. This is the longest grammar lesson I made to date. I hope you'll take the time to watch the full lesson. Watch it in parts if you need to take breaks. :) Follow the links to related videos, too. You can click on the "i" in the top right corner to see my recommendations. UPDATE: December 2022 I've since modified my understanding and explanation of the SVOO sentence type. I've considered whether or not a prepositional phrase can actually be called the indirect object. It would be more accurate to simply consider the entire prepositional phrase as the second object without naming it the "indirect object." See my new lesson ditransitive verbs. Like you, I'm on an ongoing journey of learning! Thank you for allowing me to guide you and share my understanding as I continually aim to improve and refine it.
The best grammar lesson I've ever seen. I'm a native portuguese speaker, and these patterns are very similar here in Brazil. I'd never learned them in school, but I learned in this lesson, and I can apply this knowledge to my mother tongue too. Thanks!
Thank you! 😃 I'm still working through my own understanding of complements vs. adverbials. Sources sometimes disagree. I've had conversations with other teachers/authors of grammar textbooks. I've shared some of my doubts in comments/video descriptions post-publication. I've also explored complements more in depth in my member-only playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLfQSN9FlyB6Q9KcdNzhIsJBnkYq7Z4REy You'd be welcome to join even for one month to check out those lessons. 🙏
You're a teacher's teacher. If others would teach like the way you do many out of school or even nursing graduates who are looking for jobs are gonna learn a lot from you. Don't tire of doing your noble mission.

This lesson is excellent. Very clear and informative. Thanks a lot. I also teach English (to Italian students only) and I've never found such a clear explanation of sentence patterns. It'll come in handy for sure !
I'm a native speaker trying to relearn some grammatical rules. I find that you really explained each structure very clearly. I'll make sure to direct some of my friends who are learning English to this page.
Hi Daniel. I'm glad this lesson was useful. I have some other grammar and writing lessons that native speakers may find useful. If you need to review the parts of speech for some reason, you can find a 3-part lesson in my grammar playlist. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ I know a number of native speakers have used my older videos on types of sentences to review basic structure. I have two videos on this page: www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/improve-your-writing-2/ Take care!
@@Englishwithjennifer The funny thing is I'm an interpreter (Mandarin Chinese and Spanish). I really used it to see the similarities between Chinese and English grammar, so I could get a better understanding of Chinese grammar concerning translation.

The sentence "I haven’t been practising" is not an SV (Subject + Verb) sentence in its simplest form. It includes auxiliary verbs and a present participle, making it more complex. Here’s the breakdown: Subject: I Verb phrase: haven’t been practising This structure involves auxiliary verbs ("have" + "been") and the main verb in its -ing form ("practising"). So, it's a Subject + Verb phrase sentence, but not a pure SV pattern.
Thankyou to Mr.Hermanto, who suggest me to watch this video. And thank you so much to jeniffer, bcs this video helping me so much to improve my english skill
The quiz question on 4th pattern was awesome ! In general this video explanation of sentence patterns is top notch ! I wish there was a follow up quiz link to test ability of identifying sentence patterns or sentence pattern mistakes.
mam really ur a good and very simplisity...... wow..... very good lot of thanks to u..... now i understood sentence patterns....and also tomorrow i have exam about this questoin....tq i will never forget ur teaching......
Jennifer, could I ask a question related to subject verb agreement one of my students asked me whether to use a plural or singular verb in the following sentence : two eggs and a piece of cake ( is or are ) my breakfast . thank you in advance
If you have more than one thing, the subject is plural: Two eggs are broken. If you view all the items as one unit, the subject is singular: Two eggs with a slice of toast and some juice is my usual breakfast. This is true with numbers as well. How many people are coming? - I think 5 or 6 are coming. Oh, that's nice. 5 or 6 is fine. We have a small table. 8 would be too many.
thank you so much Jennifer for your kind reply, I think what we call deep structure plays a great part in deciding what to choose , or pragmatics as well, I mean the meaning inside the speaker's mind ,don't you agree ?
This is what I learned from high school textbooks in Japan 40 years ago. It was called "5 sentence structures.“ Is it taught in US? I can’t find other RUclips videos teaching this.
People explain sentence structure differently. I didn't address the idea of obligatory adverbials. I wanted to keep my basic presentation simple and clear. Here you'll find some of the grammar books in my library. www.amazon.com/shop/englishwithjennifer (Disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)
Hi Jennifer, so the pattern SVC is the same as the pattern SVCC: Example: I am excited and I am excited about the trip. The first sentence is the pattern of S+V(Liking verb+ subject complement. The second one is the pattern of S+V+subject complement( which describes the subject)+ adjective complement( which explains the adjective).
Not all sources agree on the role of prepositional phrases in certain combinations. In the end, it's just best to remember "excited about" as a collocation. But, yes, I see "I am excited about the trip" as SVCC. Subject + linking verb + subject complement + adjective complement. Sometimes complements are necessary, but other times they're there for clarification or more detail. For example, when I introduce myself, it would be weird to say, "It's nice" instead of "It's nice to meet you." The infinitive phrase is a necessary complement.

My teacher encouraged me to teach from the age of 12. (A bit under the cover.)One of the best pieces of advice I ever got. I am NOT a learner! Money can buy something that we need on a daily basis.
I got A's through n through. Teaching needs good critical analytic skills. I know all that you are talking about. The native aspect gives a deeper insight to the grammar. I went to the school of my ex's ,with native teachers for 16 years. I took the CFCE in English. I failed n got a b
Tnq Jennifer for making this lesson very simple... Above all, the way of ur presentation was too good... that it kindles my desire to listen to u more and more.... 💕
I'm happy you liked the format of the lesson. Please consider visiting my ELT blog in the future. I've been on summer vacation, but I'll start blogging again soon. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com/
In reported speech the word order is straight. Similar to embedded sentences. This is very basic. The dog was lying on the floor chewing into his bone. I used to write grammar examples of my own. Good information. Thx. Indirect object is the same as dative. This is nice .😍 I know these.
I'm glad this video has helped you. You might also enjoy studying with me on Hallo.hallo.tv/ I offer live streams and students hop on camera for live practice. I make time to answer questions as well. Kind regards!
Hi Edson. This was an experiment to see how we all handle a longer lesson. ;) In any case, it's something you all can come back to and watch in parts. Take care.
Dear JenniferESL I do not object to learning or repeating things that need to be done so to. I can swallow my pride with ease. The thing is I'd rather do things all-inclusively in English . The Swedish in my sixth form , A-level, practice book doesn't get me triggered as does Finnish. TY. I also discussed this with my mother during her last weeks at the ward. I still manage this basic stuff.
Your knowledge of different languages has most likely sharpened your mind and given rich insights. Yes, there's value in repetition and review. Of course, it's only natural to desire some novelty as well!
Dear Jenifer, you are a great teacher. Your explanation is clear and easy to understand. My ESL students asked me to explain the difference between sentence pattern and sentence structure. Would you mind sharing me the basic and simple answer to them?
We can talk about the structure of each individual sentence. Patterns are what many different sentences have in common. I also like to differentiate between patterns, structures, and types. You may find the two videos on this page useful: englishwithjennifer.com/students/improve-your-writing-2/

It seems to me , u are a great teacher amongst those i had faced yet.. mam u have gut to explore and delivering technique . Ever and ever i recommend for all. u are a marvellous teacher . Keep that attitude✌✌✌
Hi jennifer. I think that everyone has to learn these patterns but after knowing how to speak. What i mean is that rules always come after. I know how to build a sentence without knowing these patterns. I think they exist to adjust the language like any language, but they are really useful
Yes, you need some language already to make sense of the patterns. Some grammar can be learned through practice and use. Other aspects need to be studied directly. It also depends on the learner. One method doesn't work for everyone. Thanks for reflecting on this.

The technique -Colour coding the parts of speech to teach Sentence Patterns is a great idea. Kudos!
Thank you for the kind support! 😃
The sentence "I haven’t been practising" is not an SV (Subject + Verb) sentence in its simplest form. It includes auxiliary verbs and a present participle, making it more complex. Here’s the breakdown:
Subject: I
Verb phrase: haven’t been practising
This structure involves auxiliary verbs ("have" + "been") and the main verb in its -ing form ("practising"). So, it's a Subject + Verb phrase sentence, but not a pure SV pattern.
To teach basic sentences patterns, I'd label it as SV. We can always break down a subject (noun phrase, for example) or a verb further if necessary.
What a nice teacher! I love you very much!
Thank you for watching my new lesson.

If you have more than one thing, the subject is plural: Two eggs are broken.
If you view all the items as one unit, the subject is singular: Two eggs with a slice of toast and some juice is my usual breakfast.

My teacher encouraged me to teach from the age of 12. (A bit under the cover.)One of the best pieces of advice I ever got. I am NOT a learner! Money can buy something that we need on a daily basis.
Teaching really helps you learn a subject better. ;)
I got A's through n through. Teaching needs good critical
analytic skills. I know all that you are talking about. The native aspect gives a deeper insight to the grammar. I went to the school of my ex's ,with native teachers for 16 years. I took the CFCE in English. I failed n got a b
There's always a new goal to reach. :)
Tnq Jennifer for making this lesson very simple... Above all, the way of ur presentation was too good... that it kindles my desire to listen to u more and more.... 💕

This is well put together. I hope to use your methods as an example if I end up teaching English at some point.
I'm happy you liked the format of the lesson. Please consider visiting my ELT blog in the future. I've been on summer vacation, but I'll start blogging again soon. englishwithjennifer.wordpress.com/
i never heard of these grammars , i found it very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
This is a very useful lesson and delivered beautifully.
Hi there! Thank you for the very kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this grammar lesson. :) Take care!
There was some confusion regarding complements in a sentence, but you simplified that area with style. That's my compliment to you :>)
Love your teaching ❤️. Namaste
Thank you so much!
In reported speech the word order is straight. Similar to embedded sentences.
This is very basic. The dog was lying on the floor chewing into his bone. I used to write grammar examples of my own. Good information. Thx. Indirect object is the same as dative. This is nice .😍 I know these.
I didn't learn the term "dative" until I started studying Russian. :)
You are wonderful in fact you are blessings to me.
Thank you for studying with me.
U r an amazing teacher, I love your teaching methodology
Thank for choosing to study with me. Have a good weekend!
Thank you so much I didn't know this for about 3 months but know it because you helped me
I'm glad this video has helped you. You might also enjoy studying with me on Hallo.hallo.tv/
I offer live streams and students hop on camera for live practice. I make time to answer questions as well.
Kind regards!
Good. Like always. Thanks a lot Jennifer. I was waiting for your post like you always do on thurdays.
Hi Edson. This was an experiment to see how we all handle a longer lesson. ;) In any case, it's something you all can come back to and watch in parts. Take care.
Dear JenniferESL I do not object to learning or repeating things that need to be done so to. I can swallow my pride with ease. The thing is I'd rather do things all-inclusively in English . The Swedish in my sixth form , A-level, practice book doesn't get me triggered as does Finnish. TY. I also discussed this with my mother during her last weeks at the ward. I still manage this basic stuff.
Your knowledge of different languages has most likely sharpened your mind and given rich insights. Yes, there's value in repetition and review. Of course, it's only natural to desire some novelty as well!
Absolutely..I learnt with Roxette songs.. And it was the most useful way to learn ...thanks for reminding me of that ...
Dear Jenifer, you are a great teacher. Your explanation is clear and easy to understand. My ESL students asked me to explain the difference between sentence pattern and sentence structure. Would you mind sharing me the basic and simple answer to them?
We can talk about the structure of each individual sentence. Patterns are what many different sentences have in common.
I also like to differentiate between patterns, structures, and types. You may find the two videos on this page useful: englishwithjennifer.com/students/improve-your-writing-2/
Thank you for presenting so meticulously and effectively!
You are so welcome! 😃

Hi jennifer. I think that everyone has to learn these patterns but after knowing how to speak.
What i mean is that rules always come after.
I know how to build a sentence without knowing these patterns.
I think they exist to adjust the language like any language,
but they are really useful
Yes, you need some language already to make sense of the patterns. Some grammar can be learned through practice and use. Other aspects need to be studied directly. It also depends on the learner. One method doesn't work for everyone.
Thanks for reflecting on this.
Mam Jennifer, I am from Your way of teaching is fantastic
Thank you! 😃
I am so glad I listened to this I finally understand patterns
I'm very happy to hear that.
