Using a Comma
Before every joining word, a comma (,)

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 carefully
The 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

Was
Will

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.
