Topic: Sentence Structure.
Lesson objectives:
• Questions, Exclamations,
Statements, Commands.
• Sentence writing practice.
A statement is a sentence which usually has a structure in which there
is typically a Subject, followed by a verb and then an Object.
Jimmy loves his dog, The government will make an announcement, She
reads two newspapers, etc.
Questions can have two patterns. Some can have ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as an
answer.
Do you like Paris?, Can you speak Russian? Will you marry me?
Alternatively, they have a pattern that asks an ‘open’ question which
can have any number of answers.
What did you have for breakfast?, Which newspaper do you read?,
Who is your favourite actor?
Commands also have a special structure in that they typically
lack a Subject.
Examples are: Eat your dinner, Be quiet, Open the door.
Exclamations grammatically have a structure that involves the
words agh, oh, what a or how:
What a nice person you are! What a beautiful painting!, How
clever you are!, How wonderful!
(Notice that the Subject goes before the verb in How clever you
are! If this were a question we would have: How clever are
you?)
Copy out the sentences below and write beside
them what type of sentence they are.
1. Have you been swimming?
2. Oh no!
3. The boy was running.
4. He went to the shops.
