Topic: Sentence Patterns (SV, SVO, SVC, and SVN) and Syntax (Imperative, Exclamatory, Declarative, Interrogative)
Learning Activities:
Starter Activity:
Sentence Scramble
Write various sentences on the whiteboard, each representing a different sentence pattern or type (SV, SVO, SVC, SVN,
Imperative, Exclamatory, Declarative, Interrogative). However, scramble the words within each sentence.
Divide the class into pairs and have them unscramble the sentences to determine their correct structure and type. The first
pair to unscramble all the sentences correctly wins a game.
Grammar Acquisition Activities:

Sentence Patterns:
SV: In this pattern, a sentence consists of a subject followed by a verb.
SVO: This pattern involves a subject performing an action (verb) on an object.
SVC: This pattern includes a subject, a verb, and a complement that describes or renames the subject. It often involves
linking verbs (like "is," "am," "are").
SVN: In this pattern, a subject performs an action on another noun
Sentence Types (Syntax):
Imperative: An imperative sentence gives a command, makes a request, or offers advice.
Exclamatory: An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion or surprise.
Declarative: A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses an opinion.
Interrogative: An interrogative sentence asks a question
Activity:
Then spin the wheels to choose an option for each, and make sentences. Place this like one would a knock-out challenge.
Learners can continue to make the sentence for one option till someone gets it wrong. Then the wheel can be spun again for
a new option. Alternate between sentence patterns and sentence types (syntax)
