SVC (Subject Pronouns +

Be)
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this session, the succesful learner will
be able to:
• With pronouns and the verb 'be,' you will be able to provide basic
information about a subject.
• Understand and practice the basic Subject + Verb + Complement
(SVC) sentence structure.
 EXERCISE 1:
• I am a cook.
SENTENCE
• Sally and I are cooks.
• We are cooks.
PRACTICE
• You are a cook.
• You are cooks.

• John is a cook.
• He is a cook.

• Susan is a cook.
• She is a cook.

• Susan and John are cooks.

• They are cooks.
 GRAMMAR FOCUS

'I am a cook' is an example of a very basic sentence pattern in English: Subject + Verb + Complement (SVC). 'I' is
the subject. 'Am' is the verb. 'A cook' is a subject complement. This lesson will focus on the subject and verb.

Subject
The subject is the first part of the SVC sentence "I am a cook". The subject is the focus of the sentence. The most
basic kind of subject is a noun, i.e. a person (Sally), place (the park), or thing (a movie). Instead of nouns, we can
also use personal subject pronouns.
 PERSONAL SUBJECT PRONOUNS
3RD PERSON

1ST PERSON
2ND PERSON These are the 3rd person personal subject
pronouns:
These are the 1st person
personal subject pronouns: he (male person, can replace 'John')
This is the 2nd person she (female person, can replace 'Sally')
I, we (plural of 'I', can personal subject pronoun: it (objects or animals)
they (plural of 'he'/'she'/'it', can replace
replace 'Sally and I') 'Sally and John')
you (singular and plural)
 LINKING VERB

Linking Verb 'be'

The linking verb is the second part of the sentence "I am a cook". It links (connects) the subject 'I' to
information about the subject, 'a cook'. The most basic linking verb is 'be'.

In English, the subject is the most important part of the sentence. Verbs, such as 'be', change form to
'agree with' the subject. The forms of 'be' are: am, are, and is.
 EXAMPLES OF LINKING VERBS

• I am a cook.
• You are a cook.
Tip
• We are cooks.
Just remember that most subjects use
'are'. Only 'I' and 'he/she/it' use a • They are cooks.
different form.
• He / she is a cook.
• It is a movie.
 CONTRACTIONS

Contractions
When speaking, we often contract (i.e. shorten) a word or phrase. Many phrases with linking verbs are contracted
using an apostrophe ('):

• I am a cook → I'm a cook.

• We are cooks → We're cooks.
• You are a cook → You're a cook.
• They are cooks → They're cooks.
• He is a cook → He's a cook.
• She is a cook → She's a cook.
• It is a movie → It's a movie.
 EXERCISE 2:
First person

SENTENCE

Second person

• You are singers.

Third person

GRAMMAR FOCUS
Hobbies? Subject + Verb (SV)
"I cook", "She drinks", and "We play" are examples of a very basic
sentence pattern in English: Subject + Verb (SV). The subjects (I, she, we)
do some action (cook, drink, play).

• What are your favorite hobbies? Subject + Verb + Object (SVO)

• In your free time, what do you like to Sometimes we want to be more specific and say "I cook dinner",
do? "She drinks juice", and "We play tennis". When we add these
'objects' to the sentences, we get a new sentence pattern: Subject +
Verb + Object (SVO). SVO is the most common sentence pattern in
English.

 OBJECT PRONOUNS
We know Subject Pronouns like 'I,' 'he', and 'they'. Objects also have pronouns. We use object pronouns to
replace objects:

• Sarah hates me.

• Sarah likes you.
• We know Tim. → We know him.
• We know Sarah. → We know her.
• She drinks juice. → She drinks it.
• I cook eggs. → I cook them.

How to Form the Simple Present Tense
Most verbs in English only change in the 3rd person
singular: he/she/it. For certain verbs, we add an 'es' to the verb: 'I go', 'I
watch', and 'I fix' become 'he goes, she watches, it
• I work. fixes', not 'gos', 'watchs', 'fixs'.
• You work.
• He / she / it works.
• We work.
For verbs that end with a consonant followed by
• You work.
the letter 'y', we remove the 'y' and add an 'ies': 'I
• They work.
study English' becomes 'He studies English'.
 Reasons to Use Simple Present Tense

We use the simple present tense to talk about:

1. Things that are always true:

• The Sun rises in the east. (= the Sun always rises in the east)
• Water boils at 100 degrees.
• The Earth goes around the Sun.

2. Things that are generally true:

• I work. (= I normally work.)
• You smoke. (= In general, you smoke.)
• He drinks tea with milk. (= Most of the time, he drinks tea with milk)

SENTENCE PRACTICE

• Do you see the stars?

• Do they speak Chinese?

• Does she listen to jazz?
• Does he live in Japan?
 Yes-no questions

You may remember how to form yes-no questions with the verb 'be': switch the verb and
the subject. "You are Japanese." becomes "Are you Japanese?"

To form yes-no questions with verbs other than 'be', put the helping verb 'do' at the
beginning of the sentence.

• I know you. → Do I know you?

• You live here. → Do you live here?
• We eat dinner late. → Do we eat dinner late?
• They speak Italian. → Do they speak Italian?
 To respond 'yes' to these questions, say "Yes, I / you / we / they do."

what’s new?
For the third person singular (he, she, it), the helping verb 'do' becomes
'does' to agree with the subject. Put 'does' at the beginning of the sentence
and use the main verb in its basic (without -s) form:

• He knows French. → Does he know French?

• What is your favorite movie?
• She eats meat. → Does she eat meat?
• What is your favorite color?
• It often rains here. → Does it often rain here?

Empty 'It'
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this session, the succesful learner will
be able to:
• Use the pronoun 'it' to talk about weather, time, opinions,
and identification.
 exercise 1

sentence practice
• It's 8 in the morning.
• It's snowing outside.
• It's too cold in this room!
 grammar focus
Non-Human Subject Pronoun 'It'

We have studied 'it' as a way to refer to a non-human subject pronoun. It replaces

something that has been mentioned before or is implied from the context:

• There is a village nearby. The village is ten kilometers south of here.

• → There is a village nearby. It’s ten kilometers south of here.
 Empty 'It'
Sometimes however, the word 'it' is a 'dummy subject' or an
'empty it'. It does not refer to anything, but is needed in the
sentence for grammatical reasons. We use an 'empty it' to
do the following:

1. Talk about the Weather

• It is sunny today.
• It snowed yesterday.
• It is hot in the Philippine
3. Give an Opinion about a Place

• It's cold in here; could you turn on the

heating?
• It's nice here. (= I like this place)
 sentence practice
• It’s seven o’clock in the morning.
• It rained heavily last night.
• It’s sunny today.
