Verb: fiil/yüklem
English has a SVO sentence structure: Subject+Verb+Object Object: nesne
Auxiliary verb: yardımcı fiil
So: 1- you decide your SUBJECT (I, you, she, my dog, his dad…)
2- you decide your VERB (eat, play, go, like, sleep…)
3- you decide your OBJECT if you need one (him, it, me, the book, the phone, the dog…)
4- you decide if you want to give extra information like time, place, reason, goal… (always, sometimes,
in the morning, last year, to be successful…)
Note: With some verbs you don’t need an object: I sleep at 10 pm every day, I run every morning, my
grandmother died last year…
SO:
In Turkish you say: ben elma yedim (Subject-Object-Verb)
In English you say: I ate an apple (Subject-Verb-Object)
If you want to make A NEGATIVE SENTENCE: we use NOT with the auxiliary verb, and we place
them BEFORE the actual verb: S-(Aux+not)-V-O
For present tense: DO/DOES + NOT
If you want to make A QUESTION: we put the auxiliary verb before the subject
Aux-S-V-O? For presente tense: DO/DOES
And THE?
The is called DEFINITE (belirli) article: so we use it when we KNOW the noun we talk about, when it is
specific:
Where’s the cat? I think she is under the bed. (I am talking about one specific cat. And I refer to a certain
bed.)
The telephone is ringing. (not a random phone, I know which phone is ringing.)
You also use the before a noun when there is only one.
For example: the sun, the moon, the sky, the front door of my house…
Look at the moon!
Did you lock the door?
The sun is shining.
The world is a horrible place.
I am wake up early.
NOTE: When you are making questions, you put am/is/are to
He is plays guitar
the beginning of the sentence. They are run every morning.
She is pretty. - Is she pretty?
They don’t need an auxiliary verb (don’t/doesn’t)
