Classifying Pattern 2 Sentences Tutorial

The following video is a quick tutorial on the question and answer process that students should go through when classifying sentences that follow Pattern 2. At this point, it is helpful to find the subject noun (SN) first, by asking, "Who or what [did the verb]?". Then, find the verb (V) by asking, "What did [the subject noun] do?" To determine if there is a direct object (DO), ask, "What received the action of the verb?" Next, find any prepositions (P) and the objects of the prepositions (OP). When these four steps are completed, the remainder of the words should be fairly easy to classify-- adjectives (Adj.), adverbs (Adv.), possessive noun adjectives (PNA), possessive pronoun adjectives (PPA), interjections (I), or article adjectives (A).
