ADJECTIVES!!!! So, to find the full subject of a sentence
we want adjectives that describe the subject noun.
A final definition for clarification. . .
The subject of a sentence is
who or what the sentence is about AND all
the descriptive words that give you more
information about the who or what.
Other important reminders:
1.
Don’t forget about pronouns – those could
be the subject as well.
2. “There” will NOT be the subject of a
sentence.
3. You could have more than one noun that
makes up the subject of a sentence.

Subject and Predicate
Yesterday, we identified the subject, so today we will identify the predicate.
1. For each sentence we labeled yesterday, write an imitation.
2. Label all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs of your imitation sentence.
Yesterday after lunch the students were complaining
about the short recess.
The light blue shirt with the colorful pattern was
her favorite top.
Yesterday, we identified the subject of sentence.
What do you think a predicate of a subject might be?

VERBS!!!!
The predicate always includes the verb and tells
something about the subject
Now, label the subject and predicate
of your imitation sentences.
Important information about predicates:
1. Don’t forget about linking verbs and helping verbs
2. Just like with subjects, there can be more than one verb
that makes up a predicate.
3. Don’t forget subject-verb agreement!
A singular subject needs a singular verb
Ex. The cat runs
The plural subjects need plural verbs
Ex. The cats run

Subject and Predicate
Look at the two sentences below.
1. Label all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
2. Identify the subject and predicate.
At the movies with friends and eating popcorn
with lots of butter and salt.
The rapidly approaching train on the rickety
tracks, shivering as it rounded the curve.
TRICKED YOU!!!
Both sentences have action and tell you things about the subject, but
because of how they are written there is not a subject and predicate. Let’s
label the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs first.
