Basic sentence structure: SVO

The sentence structure known as SVO is a structure that refers to a sentence composed in the following manner:

Subject + Verb (transitive) + direct Object 

S + V + O

Here we have some examples of sentences that follow the SVO structure:

1. I told DB. 

NP = I (Subject) 

V = told (Trans. V) 

NP = D.B (direct Object) 

2. I liked her. 

NP = I (Subject)
V = liked (Trans. V)
NP = her (direct Object) 

3. He wrote this terrific book of short stories. 

NP = He
V = wrote
NP = this terrific book of short stories

4. I brushed my hair 

NP = I (subject)

V = brushed  (trans. V)

NP= my hair (direct Object) 

5. The whole team ostracized me. 

NP = The whole team (Subject)
V = ostracized (Trans. V)  
NP = me (direct Object) 



Note: All the sentences are from The Catcher In The Rye (1951) by J.D. Salinger.
