Hi everybody,
I have written some sentences due to the sentence patterns, but I’m not sure their correctness. Could you please help me to correct the grammar structure of these sentences? For each sentence pattern, I have written one or two examples.
The sentence patterns which I have written in first line and the example sentences for these patterns in the second line. I hope that everybody feel pleasure to help me for this work.
-
P1: S + VI + DO + BI/Present participle
o Ex: I heard the wind screaming outside the window.
-
P2: S + VI + DO + Adj/Past participle
o Ex: I always keep my restroom clean.
I dyed my hair read.
I got my computer broken after my nephew hit it by a ball.

Intransitive verbs (VI) do not take objects (DO), palabattle. I think you mean ‘VT’. I don’t know what ‘BI’ means myself.
P1: S + VT + DO + BI/Present participle
Ex: I heard the wind screaming outside the window.-- OK
P2: S + VT + DO + Adj/Past participle
Ex: I always keep my restroom clean.— OK
I dyed my hair red.– OK as amended.
I found my computer broken after my nephew hit it with a ball.- OK as amended.
Ya! It’s really helpful for me. Thank you too much.
As your unintelligible about VI and BI, so I can explain them by this:
VI means V1 or Base Form of Verb. And BI means Present participle, I think it going like this because my teacher wrote it in the board.
By the way, could you help me for some more sentences below? They are just like the problems I ask u for the first time. If you help me for this, I think I in love with you ^^.
-
P1: S + VI + DO + Co (Noun)
o Ex: I considered her my secretary.
I designated my girlfriend to be my fiancée.
-
P2: S + VI + gerund (A)
S + expression + gerund (B)
o Ex: I keep studying hard when I’m still in school. (A)
I’m use to looking for a good position in my company. (B)
-
P3: S + VI + to infinitive
o Ex: I have to finish the assignment before the deadline.
Everybody considered drinking beer at the party.
The decree has to be executed before the next session of congress.

Your teacher’s terms are different from mine. ‘Base form of verb’ usually means dictionary or bare infinitive form (run, go, see, etc). Here, it seems to mean ‘finite main verb’. Anyway, these are OK:
P1: S + VI + DO + Co (Noun)
Ex: I considered her my secretary.
I designated my girlfriend my fiancée.-- ‘to be’ changes the sentence structure to '+Co (infinitive verb)
P2: S + VI + gerund (A)
S + expression + gerund (B)
Ex: I keep studying hard while I’m still in school. (A)
I’m used to looking for a good position in my company. (B)
You need to try again on P3:
P3: S + VI + to infinitive
Ex: I have to finish the assignment before the deadline.-- ‘Have to’ is considered a semi-auxiliary, so this is the bare infinitive of ‘finish’. You’d better make a different sentence.
Everybody considered drinking beer at the party.-- This is gerund, not infinitive
The decree has to be executed before the next session of congress.– same as above: ‘has to’ is a semi-auxiliary.
Ya! It is really helpful for me. You are so gentlemanly ^^. Thank you too much. I really like someone who hard work and look at my problem in serious way.
You are a good guy!

I’m sorry to make you trouble in this time. I have changed the sentence structures as your comment.
P3: S + VI + to infinitive
I intended to finish the assignment one day earlier the deadline.
Everybody considered to drink beer at the party.
The decree forced to be executed before the next session of congress. --> This sentence I think it is difficult to correct. So if you have another idea, can u change it as your way ^^.
I hope we can talk more!

P3: S + VI + to infinitive
I intended to finish the assignment one day earlier than the deadline.
Everybody wanted to drink beer at the party.-- ‘Considered’ is the wrong verb.
The decree was forced to be executed before the next session of congress.
Ya!, it is correct. Thank you too much ^^.
Dear and see ya!
