  2. What: Students will be able to correctly identify the subject and verb within a sentence. • Why: It’s absolutely essential for your future that you have a solid understanding of punctuation. We need to get to a place where you can identify an independent and dependent clause and what punctuation goes with each. • How: • Do now • Direct Instruction: Verb • Independent Practice: Verb exercises • Closure

  3. Verb • Subject • Independent and dependent clauses • Correct subject/verb agreement • Avoiding run-ons • Avoiding fragments • Avoiding Comma splices • Correctly using a semi-colon • After boot camp, every homework assignment that states “formal English” in the directions will lose points for fragments, run-ons, comma splices, subject/verb agreement errors, and semi-colon errors.

  4. Verb • Myth: to find the verb, simply look for the action. • Wondering? • Thinking? • Love? • Dislike? • You can’t just look for the action verb because sometimes the verb isn’t showing action.

  5. Truth: To find the verb, you need to put yesterday, every day, and tomorrow at the beginning of the sentence. • Example: I like to walk the dog. • Yesterday I liked to walk the dog. • Every day I like to walk the dog. • Tomorrow I will like to walk the dog.

  6. Verb Rule: The verb is the only part of speech that can change tense (time).

  7. Try one with a partner. Example: Susan enjoys jogging in the park. Yesterday Susan enjoyed jogging in the park. Every day Susan enjoys jogging in the park. Tomorrow Susan will enjoy jogging in the park. Verb: enjoys

  8. Note • Sometimes it’s awkward to add yesterday, every day, and tomorrow to a sentence. • You can delete words or add the words in another part of the sentence! • Even though the dog was running, he was still very slow. • Yesterday the dog was running. • Every day the dog runs. • Tomorrow the dog will be running.

  9. Independent Practice • Go through the pre-test again and check your verbs. Make any corrections necessary!

  10. Professor Smith’s literature class will study poetry. • The registrar spent two days fixing the schedule after the college’s computer crashed. • England established the first toll roads in 1269. • A two-mile linear accelerator lies under the Junipero Serra freeway near Palo Alto, California. • Consumers in the United States discard nearly one hundred million cell phones annually. • Tiffany and Erika will work at a Burger King this summer; Jasmine will serve as a camp counselor. • Sharing an apartment requires compromise. • Many people use the internet to reserve hotel rooms. • Germany and Japan recycle more than eighty percent of the glass and paper used in their countries.

  11. Summary • Verb

  12. Homework: • Complete the independent practice.
