Yes, they do. Over 90 per cent of all English sentences fall into one of the following six patterns:

  • Subject - intransitive verb
  • Subject - transitive verb - direct object
  • Subject - linking verb - complement
  • Subject - linking verb - predicate adverb
  • Subject - transitive verb - indirect object - direct object
  • Subject - transitive verb - direct object - objective complement

Just about all sentences in the English language fall into ten patterns determined by the presence and functions of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.The patterns are most easily classified according to the type of verb used:Verb of being patterns (1, 2, 3) use a form of the verb to be as the main verb in the sentence.is are was were has been have been had beenLinking verb patterns (4, 5) use one of the linking verbs as the main verb in the sentence. The linking verb is followed by a noun or adjective functioning as a subjective complement.smell taste look feel seem become appear growAction verb patterns (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) use one of the many action verbs as the main verb in the sentence. The action verb may be either transitive (take a direct object) or intransitive (not take a direct object).see jump embrace write imagine buy plummet thinketc.Terms used to identify various parts of each sentence pattern include the following:NP = noun phraseThis abbreviation refers to a headword noun and its modifiers ("noun phrase") functioning as a subject, direct object, indirect object, subjective complement, or objective complement.NP1, NP2, NP3, etc. = designations for different noun phrase functionsNumbers in sequential order are used with each NP to designate its difference from or similarity to other NPs before and after it.V-be = verb of beingLV = linking verbV-int = intransitive verbV-tr = transitive verbADV/TP = adverbial of time or placeADJ = adjective

Is a strong weak rhythm in 3 or 4 time?

Three time is triple meter with a recurring pulse pattern of Strong/weak/weak. Four time is a duple meter with recurring pulse patterns of Strong/weak/less strong/weak. So . . . strong weak rhythm would fall into the duple meter pattern - to feel this for yourself, tap the rhythms on your knee or a table top until you feel the pulse pattern internally.
