Guide to Simple Sentence pattern: Using verbs and pronouns This entry contains few grammar points about Tagalog sentence pattern. I hope this will help the learners because I also included examples. Good Luck! Sentence pattern: Verb+ actor[ use pronouns,si, sina, ang ]+ ng[ object ] +sa[ place ] In English the actor comes first in the sentence before the verb. Let’s use this verb[ past tense of “ate”] : Kumain Kumain ako ng spaghetti sa Jollibee. Translation: I ate spaghetti in Jollibee. Kumain [ ate ] Ako [I] ng [ of, object marker] Spaghetti [object ] sa [ place marker ] Jollibee [place] Note that there are 3-4 groups of verbs [ Kumain belongs to – um – verb grouping] Try to compose your own sentences by using the following words Verbs: Uminom [ drank] Iinom [ will drink, future tense] Pronouns and names: Siya – he/she Sila / they Si Karen / Karen Sina PJ at TJ / PJ and TJ Objects: Pineapple juice Alak [ wine] Sa [ place marker] Sa restawran [ in restaurant] Sa bahay [ in the house] Again, professional corrections are very much welcome!
