This is the eighth in our series of sentence builders, focusing on Subject-Verb-Negative (“no”)-Object constructions, e.g. “The boy has no pets”.

Typically developing children usually acquire this sentence structure at around the age of 30-36 months of age, although people who are learning English as a second language and/or have a communication disorder may struggle to grasp the pattern.

This no-preparation pack is designed to help support people who need help with these sentences, and features high frequency, present tense verbs to help stimulate oral language development.
