Using a Comma

The Two Parts of a Sentence

Putting Things Together

2 Parts Of a Sentence

Sentences are the building blocks of our language

The 2 Main Parts are:

Subjects

Predicates

The Subject

Is the Noun of the sentence, The sentence is also based upon the Noun

In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” Ballerina is the subject

In, “The Seminole Indians traveled over the water in the dugout canals.”The quickest way to find the subject is to read the sentence carefullyThe subject can be singular or plural and 1 or 2 words

The Predicate

The predicate names the verb in the sentence that tells what is happening

In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” leaped is the predicate

In, “ The Seminole Indians traveled over water in the dugout canals.” the predicate is traveled.”

The easiest way to find the predicate is to find what the subject is doing.

Helping Verbs

The action

Helping Verbs

The Helping Verb shows us weather the verb is past, present, or future. These are all considered “tenses”

The “tense” table

Present Past Future

Am Was Will

Did Had Am/Are going to

Getting Words to Agree

Singular and Plurals

Getting Words to Agree

All plural subjects end with the letter “s”

Verbs in sentences with he and they do not always indicate a plural.

**Remember

He Goes

They Go

Matching Plural Verbs

When you have a plural subject such as, “five boys” you must give them a plural verb such as, “run”

Verbs with <1 Part

Must agree in “Tense”

If the 1st part is talking about the past the 2nd part must do the same

If this rule is not followed, it will create a time warp in the middle.
