PARTS OF A SENTENCE
![Page 2: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
WHAT IS A SUBJECT?
A subject tells us WHO orWHAT the sentence is about.
It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.

OK…SO WHAT IS A PREDICATE?
• The predicate makes a statement about the subject.• For example…• “The soccer player ran down the field.”• The soccer player is the subject.• “ran down the field” is the predicate. • It tells us what the soccer player did.

LET’S PRACTICE…
• “The children went to the county fair”.
• What is the subject?
• What is the predicate?
![Page 7: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A COMPLETE SUBJECT…

![Page 8: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
THE SIMPLE SUBJECT…
• Tells us who or what the sentence is about, but doesn’t have all those descriptive words.• Ex: The green, slimy alien from Mars waved at us.• The simple subject is just a single NOUN.
![Page 9: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
THE COMPLETE PREDICATE:
• This is the action or linking part of the sentence.• It includes all of the words attached the the verb or action.• Ex: The green, slimy alien from Mars waved at us.
![Page 10: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
THE SIMPLE PREDICATE:
• Is the basic word that tells the action of the sentence.• Look for the verb.• Example: The green, slimy alien from Mars waved
at us.

HELLO!
![Page 13: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
INDEPENDENT CLAUSES.
• They are independent…so they can stand on their own as a sentence.• It contains a subject and a predicate.• Ex: Sarah bought a car.• There’s a subject and a predicate, and yep, it can
stand on its own as a complete sentence.
![Page 14: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A SUBORDINATE CLAUSE:
• Subordinate clauses can never stand on their own as a complete sentence.• They don’t express a complete thought. • They also tend to begin with a subordinate
conjunction…• EX: “Because the dog was a good driver.”• “ Although the dog drove us home.”
![Page 16: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHICH ONE IS AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE?
• “Every student passed the test.”• “Since we were ordering pizza.”• “Unless you catch the bus on time.”• “Dean wrote an excellent essay.”• “Because she talked to the teacher.”

YOU GOT THIS!

TYPES OF SENTENCES:
• Give me an example of an EXCLAMATION…
• Give me an example of a QUESTION…
• Give me an example of a COMMAND…
• Give me an example of a STATEMENT…
![Page 19: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
THAT WAS EASY, RIGHT?
![Page 20: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DIRECT OBJECTS
• What does that even mean?• Well, there are three ways to find a direct object.• 1) The direct object is always a NOUN.• 2) The direct object always is in a sentence with
an ACTION VERB (linking verbs not included).• 3)The direct object answers, “What?”
• Ex: The little boy threw the ball.• The action verb is “threw”.• He threw what? the ball. Ball is a noun, so it
IS the direct object.

FIND THE DIRECT OBJECTS:
• Tina fed the birds.
• Craig will read the book tomorrow.
• Marcia cooked a turkey for the dinner party.
![Page 22: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
WAS THAT DIFFICULT?
![Page 23: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NO WAY! YOU GOT IT!
![Page 24: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ONE MORE THING TO LEARN…
• The subject-verb agreement:• A singular subject requires a singular verb.
• Ex: The maid cleans the kitchen.• Adding an “s” to a verb often ensures that there
is a subject-verb agreement if the subject is SINGULAR.
![Page 25: PARTS OF A SENTENCE. WHAT IS A SUBJECT? A subject tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about. It usually comes BEFORE the predicate.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f425503460f94c616ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT
• If a subject is plural, then the verb must be plural.Ex: The maids clean the kitchen.
There are several maids, so the verb must be plural.Should NOT be: The maids cleans the kitchen.
The subject ALWAYS determines the verb.

FOR LINKING VERBS…
• IS = for singular subject• ARE = for plural subject
• Example: • The child is happy.
• The children are happy
