are not required to reassess, but you can if
you would like the extra practice
• All other students are required to reassess
Reassessment
• Write out each sentence, using correct
spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
What Makes a Complete Sentence
• A complete sentence begins with a capital
letter and ends with a period, question mark,
or exclamation mark ( . ? ! )
• Most importantly, the complete sentence
must contain at least one main clause.
– A main clause contains an independent subject
and verb and expresses a complete thought.
• This means the main clause could stand alone as a
sentence.
Subjects and Verbs
• A subject is the noun or pronoun that the whole sentence is
about. It is the person, place, or thing that does the action.
• A verb is what the noun DOES or IS (action word)
– Verbs sometimes have helpers (helping verbs) like should or
have
• Examples:
– Miss Elledge went to the store.
– You should watch where you are going in the hallways.
– After watching her favorite show, Sally called her best friend to
see what she thought about the surprise ending.
Main Clause
• Remember, all complete sentences must contain at
least one main clause.
– A main clause contains an independent subject and verb
and expresses a complete thought.
• This means the main clause could stand alone as a sentence.
• Example:
– Once she had finished her new book, Sabriel, Lindsey
returned it to the library.
• Notice that the first clause “Once she had finished her book,
Sabriel” cannot stand alone as a sentence, even though it has a
subject and verb.
• “Lindsey returned it to the library” can stand alone as a sentence
and has a subject and verb, so it is the main clause.
