sentence type 1(Subject + Verb)
0 I am making English grammar books in Korea. 02 br
00 In Korea, students learn sentnece types 1 through 5. (s+v, s+v+c, s+v+o, s+v+i.o+d.o, s+v+o+o.c) 02 br
00 And to explain sentence type 1, we put explanations as follows, along with example sentences "A baby laughed." and "He was in bed." 02 br
00 "We call the sentence where meaning is complete only with the subject and the verb as type 1. In the type 1, adverbial phrase often follow. But the adverbial phrase is not regarded as an element of a sentence. Verbs like be-verbs, live, stay are always followed by adverbial phrases" 02 br
00 However, is the second sentence, "He was in bed." complete in meaning without "in bed''? Can we say it is complete in meaning if such verbs always need to be followed by adverbial phrases? 02 br
00 Would anyone help me about this matter? Thanks a lot in advance!!!! 0-
