    English for All

    A complete sentence in English has three main components:

    Subject
    Verb
    Object

    Subject: Pronoun (I, he, you..), Noun (Ahmed, dog, pen..)


    Verb: action (do, eat..), state (feel, love..)
    Object: Noun, Adjective (happy, cold)
    For example:

    1)My cat has beautiful eyes.

    Subject: my cat
    o Adjective (my)
    o Noun (cat)

    Verb: has

    Object: beautiful eyes


    o Adjective (beautiful)
    o Noun (eyes)
    Hold on a second!

    My cat has beautiful eyes.


    What does this sentence mean?

    Put simply, my cat has beautiful eyes means that I possess a cat and that cat
    possesses beautiful eyes

    So, this means that the adjective (my) and the verb (has) express possession?

    Absolutely yes!

    I have a lot of friends, but my best friend is Jack. He is 19 years old. He


    has two brothers. They are John and Sarah. John is 13 years old, and
    Sarah is 15 years old. They have different interests, and their dreams are
    Simple. John wants to be a singer. He has a great talent, and his voice is
    magical. Sarah wants to be a vet. She has a cat and a dog at home. Her
    cat is called Ketty. It has blue eyes, and its body is hairy. John and I are
    unlucky. We have an allergy to cats. Our skin is sensitive to animals. If
    you have an allergy to animals, your body may be infected by
