WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS
| "We
Wish
You
a
Merry
Christmas" is a very popular Christmas carol because it
is easy to remember. As you can see, a number of lines are constructed
from the pattern of Subject +Verb+ Indirect Object + Direct Object. While
you are singing the song for the celebration of Christmas, please do not
forget to seize the chance to get yourself more familiar with the sentence
pattern as well! Merry Christmas to you all! Ho, ho, ho! |
