Part 2 of a two-part lesson on sentence structure. What common patterns do sentences follow? Learn the basic patterns of a simple sentence. Review the parts of a clause.

NOTE: I apologize for making a slip of the tongue twice towards the end. I said "sentence" instead of "subject." The pattern is subject + verb.
