Hi, thanks for your help.

I am having trouble with these, please check and see if I am correct.

Patterns: 1: Subject Predicate
2. Sub. Pred. Direct Obj.
3: Sub. Pred. Indirect Obj. Direct Obj.
4: Sub. Linking Verb Predicate Noun
5: Sub. Linking Verb Pred. Adjective


1. Hoping to win first prize, Tom entered the contest.

I say it is pattern 4

2. She always stood up for what she believed in.

I say pattern 3

3. London, which is the largest city in England, is also the capital of that country.
I say pattern 4

4. He showed his father his sincerity by cooperating with all his teachers at school.

I say pattern 3

5. To err is human; to forgive is divine.
I say pattern 5

Hey, Raelynn. Welcome to A2K. It's a little difficult seesawing back and forth to test your pattern correctness.

Just remember this, and you can be your own judge:

There are two basic patterns in English grammar:

Subject verb

Subject verb complement.

All the rest are expansions.

Verbals are quite difficult, especially when it comes to ascertaining the part of speech.

Hope this helps.
