  1. THE SENTENCE Angeline A. Aludino BSE II English

  2. What is a sentence? A sentence is a combination of words expressing a complete thought.

  3. Each sentence ends with a “full stop” namely: • a period ( . ) • an interrogation point ( ? ) • an exclamation point ( ! )

  4. The first word of each new sentence is CAPITALIZED.

  5. A sentence may be as one word short: “ Go! ” This one word sentence expresses a complete thought or idea: it is a command to depart.

  6. A qualifying word may be added: • Explaining where one is to go “Go away.” or “Go downstairs.” • How one is to go “Go quickly.” • When one is to go “Go immediately.” or “Go tomorrow.”

  7. A word of emphasis may be added: To make the command stronger “Please go.” or “Do go.”

  8. A pronoun may be inserted: Making the subject of the command unmistakable “You go.” A person maybe called by name “John go.”

  9. THE THREE KINDS OF SENTENCES

  10. DECLARATIVE • INTERROGATIVE • IMPERATIVE

  11. The declarative sentence makes a statement: Boswell was Johnson’s biographer. The Secretary of Labor indicated that he approved of the bill.

  12. The interrogative sentence asks a question: What time is it? Whom do you expect to see on this program?

  13. The imperative sentence gives a command: Clear out of here. Keep off the grass.

  14. THE PARTS OF THE SENTENCE

  15. PREDICATE VERB Indicates the action or state of being of the sentence.

  16. SUBJECT what is spoken about in the sentence. It is the doer of the action that is indicated by the predicate verb.

  17. It may be found by asking “who?”or “what?” before the predicate verb. In the first sentence “Time passes quickly in summer.” we ask, “What passes quickly in the summer?” The answer, time, is the subject. In the second sentence, “He is tired.” we ask, “Who is tired?” the answer, he, is the subject. The subject may be a noun, a pronoun, or a group of words acting as pronoun.

  18. In addition to the subject and the predicate verb, a sentence may have predicate complements.

  19. PREDICATE COMPLEMENTS Words which add meaning to the predicate verb.

  20. The four predicate complements are: The indirect object The predicate noun The predicate pronoun The predicate adjective

  21. DIRECT OBJECT- a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. It may be found by asking “whom?” or “what?” after the verb. The ball hit the fence. I stubbed my toe.

  22. INDIRECT OBJECT- a noun or pronoun that receives the action from such verbs as offer, give, and send, which leave the word to understood. We sent him a large package. The engineer gave the dispatcher his number.

  23. PREDICATE NOUN/PRONOUN- are used with copulative verbs (parts of to be) and rename the subject of the verb. Carl is the leader of the troop. He was a president for one term.

  24. PREDICATE ADJECTIVE- follows a copulative verb and describes the subject. He is tall, dark, and handsome.
