Subject: He brought his lunch today. (the pronoun he is the subject of the verb brought)
Object: Mom brought me today. (the pronoun me is the object of the verb brought)
Indirect object: He brought her some flowers. (the pronoun her is the indirect object of the verb brought)

Sentence patterns are determined by how the subject, verb, and objects are used. There are from 7 to 10 depending on your source, because linking verbs may be considered as separate patterns. The basic 5 are:
- Subject + Verb
I swim. Joe swims. They swam.
- Subject + Verb + Object
I drive a car. Joe plays the guitar. They ate dinner.
- Subject + Verb + Complement
I am busy. Joe became a doctor. They look sick.
- Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object
I gave her a gift. She teaches us English.
- Subject + Verb + Object + Complement

The subject-verb-direct object sentence pattern is a type of sentence structure where the subject performs the action of the verb on the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She (subject) read (verb) the book (direct object)," the subject "she" is performing the action of reading on the direct object "the book."

Subject, "they", verb, "entered", direct object, "room", (and "the" is an adjective of room). So subject verb direct object.

A transitive verb has a direct object (receiver of the action), while an intransitive verb has no direct object. The verb "to be" is intransitive. In the sentence "The distant rainbow was spectacular," there is no object or receiver of the action (verb) "was." The adjective "spectacular" modifies the verb "was."

Intransitive verbs: the verb only has a subject. For example: "he runs", "it falls."
Transitive verbs: the verb has a subject and a direct object. For example: "she eats fish", "we hunt nothing."
Ditransitive verbs: the verb has a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object. For example: "He gives her a flower."

But it requires an object, or an understood object or verb.
Example:

"Had he been out tonight?" "He had." (been out)

The answer to "what" is a thing.
The answer to "whom" is a person.
The pronoun "whom" functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The corresponding pronoun "who" functions as the subject of sentence or a clause.
The pronoun "what" functions as a subject or an object in a sentence.

For a verb to be transitive it must have a subject and an object. In order to make "moved" a transitive verb, the sentence would have to begin with a subject who did the moving and end with an object that was moved by the subject.

No. For a sentence to contain a direct object, the verb must be transitive (a type of action verb). "Was" is a linking verb, and "furious" is the subject complement. Subject complements and direct objects are not the same thing.

"He" is a nominative Pronoun (Subjective) and "Him" is accussative pronoun (Objective) so subject always comes before verb and object always comes after verb. Thus He is used as the subject of the sentence and him is used as the object of the sentence. He is eating an apple. (He-Subject) An apple is eaten by him. (Him- Object)

In Russian, the typical sentence pattern is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), where the subject performs the action on the object. The word order can be flexible in Russian due to the flexibility of cases and verb conjugations.

A sentence is a string of words with both a subject and a verb. A sentence without either a subject or a verb is incomplete.

The subject of the verb 'do have' is 'risk factors', which is plural (it can be replaced by 'they'). Therefore the form of the verb must also be the plural form, which is 'do have' ('they do have', not 'they does have').
Do not be misled into thinking that the word 'effect', which is singular, is the subject of the verb 'do have' because it comes first. It is the object of that verb. Because the sentence is a question not a statement, the 'normal' word order for a statement (subject, verb, object) is reversed (object, auxiliary verb, subject, main verb). But it is still the subject that determines the form of the verb.

There are five ways that sentences are classified:
10 according to basic pattern
4 according to structure (may be only 3)
4 according to use
3 according to style (may be 4)
7 according to variety
Types by pattern (3 being, 2 linking, 5 action)- Subject - Being Verb - Adverb
- Subject - Being Verb - Adjective (Predicate Adjective)
- Subject - Being Verb - Noun (Predicate Nominative)
- Subject - Linking Verb - Adjective (Predicate Adjective)
- Subject - Linking Verb - Noun (Predicate Nominative)
- Subject - Action Verb (Intransitive)
- Subject - Action Verb - Direct Object (Transitive)
- Subject - Action Verb - Indirect Object - Direct Object (to or for, what)
- Subject - Action Verb - Direct Object - Adjective (Object Complement)
- Subject - Action Verb - Direct Object - Noun (Object Appositive)

- S+V / (subject-intransitive verb)
- S+V+SP / (subject-linking verb-adverb)
- S+V+A / (subject-linking verb-adjective)
- S+V+DO / (subject-transitive verb-direct object
- S+V+IO+DO / (subject-transitive verb-indirect object-direct object)
- S+V+O+A / (subject-transitive verb-direct object-adverb)
- S+V+DO+OP / subject-transitive verb-direct object-object complement
- SIMPLE
- COMPOUND
- COMPLEX
- *COMPOUND-COMPLEX
- DECLARATIVE
- INTERROGATIVE
- IMPERATIVE
- EXCLAMATORY
- Loose sentence - the main point is stated, with following clauses
- Periodic sentence - the main point is in a preceding dependent clause
- Balanced sentence - two parts of the sentence compared in the same form

The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet). A linking verb always has an object of the sentence or phrase.
An action verb does not make the object a form of the subject (Mary came home.). An action verb doesn't always have an object (My feet hurt.).

A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
A verb tells what the subject is or what the subject does.
Examples:
The drive to the city was tiring. (subject of the sentence)
He said that Maple Drive was the first right. (subject of the relative clause)
We can drive to the beach later today. (verb)
These insurance forms are going to drive me crazy. (verb)
