Simple Subjects
 There are two kinds of subjects: simple and complete.

ask you who or what the sentence is about.

Simple Predicates

Run is the verb; it is the ________________.

Turning is the main verb; is is the ________ verb; is turning is
the _______________.

Complete Predicates
 We know that simple predicates include only the
_______ in the sentence.

that __________ or modify the predicate.


Tossed is the verb; my penny into the wishing well all modify or
describe the ______; tossed my penny into the wishing well is

Find the Complete Subject and
Predicate

Compound Subject
 Every sentence has a subject.
 It is _______ or ______ the sentence is about.
 Sometimes sentences can be about more than one person
place or thing.
 This is called a ____________ subject.
 Example:
 The roses and daisies are blooming.
 Who or what is blooming?
 As you can see, more than one flower is performing the action in the
sentence. Roses and daisies are the simple subjects in the compound
subject.
 What is the complete subject?
Compound Predicates
 We also have compound predicates.
 Similar to how compound subjects include more than
one noun or pronoun, compound predicates include
more than one verb.
 Example:
 The dog was barking and scratching at the door.



Barking and scratching are both verbs.
Barking and scratching is the simple compound subject.
What is the complete compound subject?
Let’s Practice...

street.
 Most flowers and trees begin to lose their leaves and
become dormant in the winter.

pay taxes.
Direct and Indirect Objects
 All sentences require two parts in order for them to be
complete: a _________ and a ___________.
 Example:
 The dog barked.
 Most sentences also have a third part to give more
information and description.
 Example:
 The dog barked at the stranger.
 The extra information is known as the __________.
Direct Objects
 Direct objects will always be a _________ or a
________.
 They complete the predicate by answering the
question whom? or what? in the sentence.
 Example:
 The dog barked at whom?
 _________ is the direct object.
 Direct objects directly receive the _________ in the
sentence.
Let’s find the direct objects...
 Ms. Dilsaver plans lessons for our class.

students.

Independent and Dependent
Clauses
 What is a clause?
 Not a Claus.....
 A clause as in a sentence that contains both a
subject and a predicate, otherwise known as a
complete sentence.
 There are two types of clauses: independent and
dependent clauses.
Independent Clauses
 Independent clauses are complete sentences that can
stand on their own.
 They are strong and contain all the parts they need to
be complete: the __________ and the ___________.

Dependent Clauses
 Dependent clauses are not __________ sentences, and they
cannot stand alone.

 This is not a complete sentence because it is missing information.
 It must be joined to an independent clause in order to make sense
and be independent.

independent clauses...
