Which of the 10 sentence patterns is this?

Asked by oatmeal1642 (180points) October 15th, 2012

“Standard Written English is constantly violated in music.”

I wrote this sentence for a grammar assignment with a single comma between ‘constantly’ and ‘violated’. We are suppose to write ungrammatical sentences and explain why it’s ungrammatical. In my explanation, I am explaining that required slots in a sentence pattern must never be separated. However, I am confused as to which sentence pattern this sentence belongs to. I can’t seem to fit it with any of the 10 sentence patterns. My brain must not be working. Anyone know?

Thanks for the help!
