Subjects, Predicates, & Objects Sentence Structure Lesson
Warmup What makes a sentence complete? What makes a sentence incomplete?
Subjects Nouns and pronouns that take verbs Example Robert asked for his late work. It was late when we got home. Lime green is my favorite color.
Predicates Actions (verbs) in the sentence Examples Jane cried. Marcus was talking. The rain ended the baseball game.
Objects Nouns that do not take predicates (verbs). Examples He kicked the can. She threw the paperball at Eric. Charity is important to humanity.
Complete Sentences Each needs a subject and a predicate. Imperative sentences do not need subjects. Subjects are on the left, predicates are right. Examples Sheruns. Stop. I am. Bobwent to school, but Kylestayed home.
Compound Subjects & Predicates Sentences can have more than one subject and/or predicate. Chris andIstudied. Janeswept and vacuumed. She andI ate pizza and watched movies.
Longer Sentences Sentences may have more than one set of subjects and predicates. I wenthome and my momyelled at me. Shethrew the ball at me but Idroppedit. Ihad a headache until Itook a nap.
