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.
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.
V = ostracized (Trans. V)
NP = me (direct Object)
Note: All the sentences are from The Catcher In The Rye (1951) by J.D. Salinger.
