A Basic or a Kernel sentence is the simplest form of sentence which is simple (not complex or compound), declarative and affirmative and is in the active voice. Such sentences can be broadly classified into five different patterns. Two of these patterns are Intransitive (using such verbs as they do not take an object) while the other three are Transitive (verbs that take an object).
