Sentence patterns 有很多, 五花八門
S + transitive verb + O + (adverb/adverbial phrase, that/wh- clause, past participle, to +V, verb-ing)
S + intransitive verb + (adverb/adverbial phrase, that/wh- clause, past participle, to +V, verb-ing)
S + linking verb + noun or adjective
subject 與 object 前面可加 adjective
例子:

有時有些 abstract noun 沒有 adjective, 例如 integrity (n) = 正直
便要寫成 a man of integrity
a man of his word = a man you can trust

特別要了解 verbal phrase的 meaning,
例如: give away, give in, give off, give out, give up… etc.
