In this case we will learn about the elements of the supporting sentences or commonly known as Basic Sentence Pattern ( Basic Sentence Patterns ) .
The first thing to remember is the difference between the Indonesian English in Basic Sentence Patterns . The difference is in English every sentence always contains a verb ( the verb ) . It is not always found in Indonesian .
For example :
Both have Verbs :
Indo :
I drink honey every day .
English :
I drink honey everyday .
In Indonesian does not have a verb in the English language has a verb :
Indo :
Amelia was a beautiful girl .
English :
Amelia is a beautiful girl .
In the above example sentences can be seen that a sentence in English always requires a verb ( the verb ) .
The underlined word is a verb . The word drink is the proper verb , while the word is is a linking verb .
So , if you make the sentence no verb ( nominal sentence ) , then you must enter by linking verb or verb be .
Be changed in accordance with tenses and sentence subject .
