What are some example of s - l v c pattern sentence?

The S-LV-C pattern, also known as the subject-linking verb-complement pattern, is used to describe a state of being, characteristic, or identity of the subject. Here are some examples:

1. Simple descriptions:

* The sky is blue. (Subject: sky, Linking Verb: is, Complement: blue)

* She feels happy. (Subject: she, Linking Verb: feels, Complement: happy)

* The book seems interesting. (Subject: book, Linking Verb: seems, Complement: interesting)

2. Expressions of identity:

* My favorite color is green. (Subject: color, Linking Verb: is, Complement: green)

* That man is the doctor. (Subject: man, Linking Verb: is, Complement: doctor)

* This painting is a masterpiece. (Subject: painting, Linking Verb: is, Complement: masterpiece)

3. Using different types of complements:

* He became a lawyer. (Subject: he, Linking Verb: became, Complement: lawyer - noun phrase)

* The meeting was productive. (Subject: meeting, Linking Verb: was, Complement: productive - adjective)

* She feels like she can accomplish anything. (Subject: she, Linking Verb: feels, Complement: like she can accomplish anything - prepositional phrase)

4. More complex examples:

* The city lights look beautiful from here. (Subject: lights, Linking Verb: look, Complement: beautiful - adjective)

* The cake tastes delicious. (Subject: cake, Linking Verb: tastes, Complement: delicious - adjective)

* That's what she said. (Subject: that, Linking Verb: is, Complement: what she said - noun clause)

Note: Linking verbs connect the subject to a complement that describes or renames the subject. Common linking verbs include: be (is, am, are, was, were, been, being), seem, appear, become, feel, look, sound, taste, smell, remain, stay.

Remember, in the S-LV-C pattern, the complement is usually a noun, pronoun, adjective, or adjective phrase.
