Subject-predicate sentence with a verbal predicate (主谓句1：动词谓语句)
A verbal-predicate sentence (动词谓语句) uses a verb or verb phrase as the core predicate. It is the most common sentence type in Chinese, and it tells who does what. The basic formula is: Subject + Verb (+ Object).
ตัวอย่างหลัก
我买面包，他打电话，妈妈做饭——每一句都是"谁 + 做什么"，这就是动词谓语句！
Wǒ mǎi miànbāo, tā dǎ diànhuà, māma zuò fàn — měi yī jù dōu shì 'shéi + zuò shénme', zhè jiùshì dòngcí wèiyǔ jù!
I buy bread, he makes a phone call, Mom cooks — every sentence follows 'who + does what'. That is the verbal-predicate sentence!

Formula: Subject + Verb (+ Object). Meaning: describes who does what. Key usage: the verb comes directly after the subject — no 是 needed before action verbs. Negation (不/没) goes right before the verb. Model sentence: 爸爸每天打电话。(Dad makes phone calls every day.) Never place 是 before an action verb.
The verbal-predicate sentence (动词谓语句) is the backbone of Chinese. Almost every action sentence follows this structure: Subject + Verb + Object.
Key features: 1. The verb comes directly after the subject — no 'to be' needed before action verbs. Chinese says 他去学校, NOT 他是去学校. 2. Objects come AFTER the verb: 我买面包 (I buy bread). Never put the object before the verb. 3. Negation (不/没) comes right before the verb: 他不去医院 (He doesn't go to the hospital), 我没吃早饭 (I didn't eat breakfast). 4. Time words come before the verb: 我下午买面包, not 我买面包下午. 5. If there's no object, the verb can stand alone: 老师来了 (The teacher came).
When NOT to use this structure: - For descriptions (he is tall), use adjectival-predicate sentences (他很高). - For identity (she is a teacher), use 是-sentences (她是老师). - Do NOT add 是 before action verbs: 我是吃饭 is wrong. Say 我吃饭.
Tip: Once you know Subject + Verb + Object, you can build nearly any basic sentence in Chinese by just swapping the subject, verb, or object.

Subject + verb (phrase) (+ object)
The subject performs an action described by the verb. An object may follow the verb to show what the action is directed at.
我买一个面包。
Wǒ mǎi yí ge miànbāo.
I buy a piece of bread.
爸爸每天打电话。
Bàba měitiān dǎ diànhuà.
Dad makes phone calls every day.
她不去医院。
Tā bú qù yīyuàn.
Never put 是 before an action verb. 是 is for identity/classification (she IS a teacher), not for actions.
The negation word 不 must come directly BEFORE the verb, not after the object or at the end.

She does not go to the hospital.
老师看书 is grammatically correct but means a general fact. To express ongoing action (right now), add 在 before the verb.
