The document outlines the 10 basic sentence patterns in English based on the type and function of verbs. There are 3 patterns using verbs of being that can be followed by an adverb, adjective, or noun. Two patterns use linking verbs followed by an adjective or noun. The remaining 5 patterns use action verbs that can be either transitive or intransitive, followed optionally by direct objects, indirect objects, adjectives, or nouns. Key terms like NP, V-be, and numbers are used to identify different parts of each sentence structure.
