Must-Listen Before 2025: Your Guide to an Empowered New Year!

HSK 3-6 Text Audios

HSK 3 Lesson 15 Text 3

Welcome to our first lesson! Today, we’re starting with the basics of sentence structure. Every sentence in English has three key parts: a subject, a verb, and an object. Let’s dive into what each part means and how they work together.

The subject is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about. The verb shows the action or state of being. The object receives the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "I eat apples," "I" is the subject, "eat" is the verb, and "apples" is the object.

Let’s look at some more examples. "She reads books." Here, "she" is the subject, "reads" is the verb, and "books" is the object. Another example is, "They play soccer." In this sentence, "they" is the subject, "play" is the verb, and "soccer" is the object.

Now, let’s practice together. Repeat after me: "I eat apples." Great! Now let’s try another one: "I watch TV." Excellent! Next, we’ll create some sentences together. I’ll say, "I [verb] [object]," and you can choose your own verb and object to complete the sentence. For example, "I see flowers," or "I like pizza."

Let’s make our practice a bit more creative. Think about activities you do every day. For instance, "I drink coffee," or "I read the newspaper." You could also say, "I walk to school," or "I write emails." Can you add a few more examples of things you do regularly? Practice saying them aloud to build confidence in using the Subject + Verb + Object structure. Try to include activities from different parts of your day, like morning routines, work tasks, or evening hobbies. Think about what you do when you wake up, such as "I brush my teeth," or "I make the bed." Then consider what you might do later, like "I cook dinner," or "I watch TV before bed."

If you want to encourage someone to do something then maybe you can give them an incentive, or incentivise them to do something! This is a formal word that we can use to talk about giving people reasons to achieve their goals and rewards as encouragement toward certain behaviors. Another great piece of professional, business English vocabulary that you can use at work!
