  2. Warmup What makes a sentence complete? What makes a sentence incomplete?

  3. Simple Subjects Who or what the sentence is about. (the doer – can be a noun or pronoun) Example: Robert asked for his late work. It was the best concert ever! Lime green is my favorite color.

  4. Simple Predicates The action of the sentence; what the subject does (the verb). Examples: Jane cried. Marcus was talking. The rain ended the baseball game.

  5. 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.

  6. Compound/Complete Subjects All of the words describing the subject; telling what the sentence is about. Examples: Chris andIstudied. Janeswept and vacuumed. She andI ate pizza and watched movies.

  7. Compound/Complete Predicates All of the words describing what the subject does. Examples: Chris and I studied. Jane swept and vacuumed. She and I ate pizza and watched movies.

  8. 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.
