Identify the sentence pattern. jill bought a new dress for the party. a) subject-verb b) subject-verb-direct object c) subject-linking verb-predicate noun d) subject-linking verb-predicate adjective e) subject-verb-indirect object-direct object

B) subject-verb-direct object

Explanation:

What follows is a description of each of those elements: Subject refers to the person or thing that performs the main action of the sentence, or the person or thing described or dealt with; a verb indicates action, and a direct object is a noun or a pronoun that receives the verb in the sentence or that is affected by it and that can be identified by answering the “what?” or the “who?” questions.  

In the sentence, “Jill” is the subject because it is the doer of the main action (or verb) of the sentence, which is “bought”, and “a new dress” is the direct object because it receives the verb and it also answers the question “What did Jill buy for the party?”

Furthermore, “for the party” is an adverb phrase because it provides information on why the new dress was bought for. So we have that the sentence has the following construction:

Subject + verb + direct object + adverb phrase
