  2. SENTENCE • A SENTENCEIS A GROUP OF WORDS THAT EXPRESSES A COMPLETE THOUGHT. • SURPRISE CAN US ARCHITECTS . • Can architects surprise us? Architects can surprise us. • A SENTENCE HAS TWO BASIC PARTS – A SUBJECTAND A PREDICATE. • COMPLETE SUBJECT – INCLUDES ALL THE WORDS THAT TELL WHOM OR WHAT THE SENTENCE IS ABOUT. IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE. • Some architects bring nature indoors.

  3. SENT. CONT. • COMPLETE PREDICATE – INCLUDES THE VERB AND ALL THE WORDS THAT COMPLETE THE VERB’S MEANING. • Some architects bring nature indoors.

  4. YOUR TURN  • WRITE THE COMPLETE SUBJECT AND COMPLETE PREDICATE UNDER THE CORRECT COLUMN. • Frank Lloyd Wright designed an unusual home. • The owners called the house Fallingwater. • Sections of the house extended over a waterfall.

  5. SIMPLE SUBJECTS, OR NOUNS • SIMPLE SUBJECT – IS THE MAIN WORD OR WORDS IN THE COMPLETE SUBJECT. (DESCRIPTIVE WORDS ARE NOT PART OF THE SIMPLE SUBJECT) • An expectant seal builds a shelter in a snowdrift. • The cozy shelter hides her newborn pup. • Robert Peary explored the North Pole. • Why it matters in writing? The simple subject tells the reader whom or what the sentence is about.

  6. YOUR TURN • DIRECTIONS: WRITE THE SENTENCE. HIGHLIGHT THE COMPLETE SUBJECT. CIRCLE THE SIMPLE SUBJECT AND UNDERLINE THE COMPLETE PREDICATE. • Many animalsneed shelter from cold and predators. • Lodges on islands often give beavers the best protection. • These homes are built up from the bottom of the pond. • Strong saplings are anchored into the mud. • The sturdy rodents then pile debris into a mound.

  7. SIMPLE PREDICATES, OR VERBS • THE SIMPLE PREDICATE, OR VERB, IS THE MAIN WORD OR WORDS IN THE COMPLETE PREDICATE. • Prairie pioneers lived in sod houses. • Few trees grow in the prairie grasslands. • Pioneers made sod bricks. • Sod houses stayed cool in hot weather. • A VERB IS A WORD USED TO EXPRESS AN ACTION, A CONDITION, OR A STATE OF BEING. • LINKING VERB – TELLS WHAT THE SUBJECT IS • ACTION VERB – TELLS WHAT THE SUBJECT DOES, EVEN WHEN THE ACTION CANNOT BE SEEN • WHY VERBS MATTER? VERBS MAKE YOUR WRITING MORE INTERESTING WHEN YOU USE STRONGER VERBS.

  8. VERB PHRASES • A VERB PHRASE IS MADE UP OF A MAIN VERB AND ONE OR MORE HELPING VERBS. • A “smart house” maycookyour food for you. • A MAIN VERB CAN STAND BY ITSELF AS THE SIMPLE PREDICATE OF A SENTENCE. • Computer networks run smart houses. (action) • The network is the brain of the house. (linking) • ONE OR MORE HELPING VERBS HELP MAIN VERBS EXPRESS ACTION OR SHOW TIME. • Computer networks will run smart houses. • The network has been turning the lights on and off. • It will have been programmed for all seasons. • They have been winning all season. • These graceful homes can be built in all climates. • Such houses have recently survived hurricanes in the West Indies.

  9. HOMEWORK • ADDITION: BOX THE VERB PHRASE. • The first “smart house” was developed in the early 1980s. • Its appliances could communicate with each other. • Suppose you were running the vacuum cleaner. • The noise might keep you from hearing the phone. • In that situation the house would stop the vacuum cleaner automatically. • Those with disabilities may benefit the most from a smart house.
