1 ANALYTICAL GRAMMAR (UNIT #7) NOTES-PAGE 13 PATTERN #3 To learn about Pattern 3, you must learn a new concept called the INDIRECT OBJECT. PATTERN 3: N-V-N-N It consists of four main parts IN THIS ORDER: the subject (N), an action verb (V), an indirect object (N), and a direct object (N). All four parts may have modifiers, and there may be prepositional phrases in the sentence, but THERE WILL BE NO OTHER NOUNS OR VERBS. IMPORTANT: A SENTENCE CANNOT HAVE AN INDIRECT OBJECT UNLESS IT HAS A DIRECT OBJECT. EXAMPLE: pn av pro art n pp n Mom gave me a dollar (for candy). If you strip down this sentence (take out all the modifiers and prepositional phrases), what would be left? Mom gave me dollar When you "strip down" a sentence as you did above, count the number of nouns (or pronouns) left over. If you have one noun left over, you have a Pattern 1 (N-V) sentence. If you have two nouns left over, you have a Pattern 2 (N-V- N) sentence. If you have three nouns left over, you have Pattern 3 (N-V-N-N); the first noun will be the subject, the second will be the indirect object, and the third will be the direct obect. The diagram of your complete Pattern 3 sentence would look like this: Mom gave dollar Note the little "tail." for me a candy VERY IMPORTANT: The INDIRECT OBJECT will always be located between the VERB and the DIRECT OBJECT in the sentence. The words will ALWAYS come in this order: SUBJECT - VERB - INDIRECT OBJECT - DIRECT OBJECT. These sentences will only contain ACTION VERBS.
