    SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION (for beginners)

    Simple Sentences
    STEP 1: Identify then categorise the words into their respective classes.

    Ali sing father slow happily beautiful lovingly bought

    NOUNS VERBS ADJECTIVES ADVERBS


    Ali bought slow lovingly
    father walk beautiful happily

    STEP 2: Place the words in appropriate boxes.

    Subject Verb Predicate


    Ali sing Happily
    every morning

    Place NOUNS here Place VERBS here ...and everything else here!

    NOTES: 1. Expand PREDICATE by answering WH-questions when, where, why, who, what, why and
    how.

    STEP 3: Make sure subject-verb agreement is correct.

    NOTES: 1. Singular subject has only one doer (noun) / without s. It must be followed by singular verb
    that has s.
    2. Plural subject has more than one doer (noun+noun) / with s. It must be followed by plural
    verb without s.

    Subject Verb Predicate


    Ali sing every morning

    Ali is singular subject sing is plural verb because it does not have s. So, we need
    to change it to singular form by adding s

    STEP 4: Re-write the sentence.

    Subject Verb Predicate


    Ali sings every morning

    RE-WRITE

    Sentence: Ali sings every morning.
