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.
