Oh, what a lovely question! In the S-V-O-C pattern, the subject performs the action on the object and then gives additional information. For example, "The artist (subject) painted (verb) a beautiful landscape (object) with vibrant colors (complement)." Remember, when you paint your sentences with this pattern, let your creativity flow like happy little clouds in the sky!

What is svoc in grammar?
SVOC is a clause pattern where S is the Subject, V is a transitive verb (a verb that needs an object), O is the object and C is an object complement (for example an adjective or verb phrase that is linked to the object and completes the sentence.) Examples of this pattern: The man made me angry. S V O C (adj.) This pattern causes difficulties for second language learners because of the uncertainty of what a complement is and what types of complements are acceptable. For example, it is quite common for non-native English speakers to create incorrect sentences like the following... The man made me anger. (X) This sentence is wrong because 'anger' is a noun and therefore cannot be linked to the object which is also a noun.
What is a SVC Pattern in English?
SVOC stands for "Subject, Verb, Object, Complement." Examples: "They named him Bob."; "We left the door open." Subject: They, We; Verb: named, left; Object: him, the door; Complement: Bob, open.
