Subject Pronouns andRegular –AR Verb

Conjugation

The most important grammar presentation

you will have this school year.

First, let’s talk about the subjects.

• Subjects are the person or thing in the sentence that performs the action (verb).

• Without a subject, you do not have a complete sentence.

• Subjects come in two forms: singular (one person or thing) and plural (more than one person or thing).

Before we get started, make sure that you have TWO

DIFFERENT COLORS for the rest of the presentation and that you use the same two

colors for today and tomorrow.
