Exercise 1
Sentence Practice

Grammar Focus
Subject + Verb (SV)

"I cook", "She drinks", and "We play" are examples of a very basic sentence pattern in
English: Subject + Verb (SV). The subjects (I, she, we) do some action (cook, drink,
play).
Subject + Verb + Object (SVO)

Sometimes we want to be more specific and say "I cook dinner ", "She drinks juice ", and
"We play tennis ". When we add these 'objects' to the sentences, we get a new sentence
pattern: Subject + Verb + Object (SVO). SVO is the most common sentence pattern in
English.

Object Pronouns

We know Subject Pronouns like 'I,' 'he', and 'they'. Objects also have pronouns. We use
object pronouns to replace objects:

Sarah hates me.

Sarah likes you.
We know Tim. → We know him.
We know Sarah. → We know her.
She drinks juice. → She drinks it.
I cook eggs. → I cook them.

Note

'You' and 'it' are the same as subject and object pronouns.
