‘unlock’ becomes ‘unlocked’ because ‘the car door’ receives the action.

Look at examples 1 and 2.

The same thing happens in example 2. ‘turn on’ becomes ‘turned on’ because ‘a light’ receives the action. Now let’s look at the sentence struc-ture:

Notice that both sentences have the SVOC structure. In this lesson, we’re going to practice making SVOC sentences where the ‘C’ is in the past parti-ciple form because the object (the car door / a light) is receiving the action (unlocked / turned on).

1. I left the car door unlocked at the mall yesterday.

S V O C

S V O C

2. We always keep a light turned on at night in our son’s room.
