  2. Subjects, Predicates, & Objects Sentence Structure Lesson

  3. What is a Sentence?You may laugh, but even adults struggle with them. • A sentence is a subject and a predicate working together to convey meaning. That is to say, every sentence contains something (a person, place, thing, or idea) and that thing must act in some way (even if the action is just being alive).

  4. 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.

  5. Predicates Actions (verbs) in the sentence Examples Jane cried. Marcus was talking. The rain ended the baseball game.

  6. Did you know that “to be” is a verb? • Present Tense • I am • You are • He/She/It is • We are • They are Past Tense I was You were He/She/It was We were You were They were I have been, etc. I am being, etc.

  7. Objects Nouns that do not take predicates (verbs). Examples He kicked the can. She threw the paperball at Eric. Charity is important to humanity.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Practice • Write each sentence. • Underline subjects. • Circle predicates. • Double-underline objects.
