最簡單句型:

Subject + verb + complement (noun) Subject + verb + complement (adjectives)
e.g. Susan is a teacher. 現在式Peter was her husband. 過去式 I feel happy. 現在式She was happy. 過去式

Subject + verb (intr.) Subject + verb (tr.) + object
e.g. He signs. 現在式We stopped. 過去式 He hits the ball. 現在式They ate the pizza. 過去式
每一個部分都可以唔此一個。
subjectsTom and his brother run to the hill.

Tom 及 his brother (復數) 都作 run 這個動作,所以 run 無須加 s。
verbsPanda eats, shoots and leaves.*

Panda 不單只吃 (eats),也開槍 (shoots) 及離開 (leaves)。分開 3 句即 Panda eats. Panda shoots. Panda leaves. 三個動作分亨同一個 subject  Panda,所以每個動作都必須加 s
objectsPanda eats shoots and leaves.

作者Lynne Truss 一書 Eats, Shoots, & Leaves 2003 我在 Toronto, Canada downtown Marche 傍一間書店列為 best-seller。封面有一熊貓爬上梯又有一熊貓揸槍。攪咩呢?攞呢睇吓。話說一熊貓到餐廳吃了件三文治就開槍離開。侍應實感奇怪,於是攔住熊貓問佢點解要咁做。熊貓比一本百科個書佢睇。侍應揭到 panda 嗰頁:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and proceeds to fire it at the other patrons.

“Why?” asks the confused, surviving waiter amidst the carnage, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.


“Well, I’m a panda,” he says at the door. “Look it up.”

The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

話說一熊貓到餐廳吃了件三文治就開槍離開。侍應實感奇怪,於是問熊貓佢點解要咁做。熊貓比一本百科個書佢睇。侍應揭到
panda 嗰頁:熊貓是一隻像熊的黑白色哺乳動物,原產自中國。物們竹及竹葉。但無端瑞响 eats shoots 之間多了個「,」即係本來作 objects shoots leaves 變成多個動詞 --> 吃、開槍及離開。]
