  1. VERBS! Everything you need to know

  2. What makes up a complete sentence? • A SUBJECT – like man, you, we, she, they, police, team, Ms. Stickle, tree, pencil, etc. – subjects are who or what the sentence is about. • AND • A PREDICATE – like ran, wrote, dance, is, was, have, wish, create, etc. – predicates are what the subject does or is.

  3. SUBJECTS • A complete subject is who or what the sentence is about INCLUDING the words that are describing it. • A simple subject is just who or what is being talked about. • Example – The tan, young girl rode her bike to the library. • What is the complete subj? What is the simple subj?

  4. PREDICATES • A complete predicate is everything that the subject is doing. They come after the subject. • A simple predicate is JUST the verb that the subject is doing. • Example – The tall, handsome young man jumped into the ocean. • What is the complete predicate? What is the simple predicate?

  5. Incomplete VS Complete Sentences • In order to have a complete sentence, it must contain a subject and a predicate, or verb. When it does not, it is incomplete (AKA a fragment). • Incomplete sentences are missing information that can be added to make it a complete sentence.

  6. Incomplete VS Complete Sentences • Are the following complete or incomplete? • The girl at the store. • Today we had homework. • Under the bushes. • I checked my email. • Justin Bieber called me. • At 9 pm.

  7. VERB TENSES • What are the 3 tenses of verbs? • Past • Present • Future • Conjugate the verb “create” for the 3 tenses • Created, create(s), will create

  8. VERB TENSES • When writing, try to stay in the same tense. For example, in your narratives many of you started to write in past tense but ended up switching to present. • What’s the problem here? • I was running as fast as I could, but the murdered was catching up to me. Finally, I reach my house and open the front door. I am safe!

  9. Subject-Verb Agreement • When writing, your verbs must also agree with the subject. They must ‘match.’ What do I mean by this? • What’s wrong here? • They has a pet dog. • We am happy. • I loves to dance.
