The purpose of this podcast is to entertain us, make us laugh and relax while learning the English language. It is a little twist; a deviation from the normal conventional way of teaching the English language. We will be learning the correct usage of English grammar, words, spellings and punctuations only that the language of communication will be Pidgin English also called Broken English in Nigeria.
Pattern 9 is the last pattern used in forming a basic simple sentence. This pattern has 4 parts: Subject, Predicator, Direct Object, and Adverbial. In the previous episodes, subject, predicator, and direct object have been explained. In this episode, the adverbial is explained. The adverbial is an adverb and its function is to qualify a noun. Example of pattern 9 sentences: I placed the food on the dining table. "I" is the subject; "placed" is the predicator; "the food" is the direct object, and "on the dining table" is the adverbial.
