Painting With Phrases Grammar Review With Mrs. Demos and Mr. Stein
Objectives • Students will recognize a phrase in order to support their writing and knowledge of parts of a sentence • Students will also be able to discriminate and explain the differences between the 5 types of phrases: preposition, appositive, infinitive, participle, and absolute phrases to use correctly in their writing. • Students will categorize and generate examples of each phrase type as they create a reference tool for use throughout the year on this topic.
Formative Pre-Assessment • Put check on your comfort level with phrases: • Uncertain • Familiar • Very Confident
Subject and Predicate -- Simplified • Subject is the Person, Place, Thing or Idea that the whole sentence is about. • Predicate is the action of the sentence. • What the subject is doing. • Example: • I completely ignored the fact that the idea of falling a hundred or so feet in a barrel was incredibly stupid.
Practice Identifying Subject and Predicate Action Verb • I read an article in a magazine called "The Fools Who Shoot the Falls." • The barrel was filling up with water quickly. • You could not kick a pickle barrel apart from the inside.
What is a phrase? • A group of words intended to have meaning • (Does notcontain a subject AND a predicate action) • Often will be used to describe the subject or the predicate action. • The clock ran. • Which? • How? • Why? • What? • When? • Where?
Painting with Phrases • Phrases Bring Color to boring simple sentences: • The alligator opened its mouth. • Which alligator? • Where did this happen? • Why did it open up its mouth? • When did this happen? • Under the darkness of the storm, the alligator, the last one left at the zoo, opened its mouth, filled with sharp teeth and dripping with blood to scare nearby attackers.
5 types of Phrases • Infinitive • Preposition • Appositive • Participle • Absolute Students will create their own phrase palates
Infinitive • To + verb + any additional modifiers connected to it. • Can be used as noun, adjective, or adverb • Her plan to eliminate crime won wide acceptance among urban politicians. [describes which plan, functions as an adjective] • To watch Uncle Billy tell this story is an eye-opening experience. [noun-subject of the sentence] • Juan went to college to study veterinary medicine. [tells us why he went, so it's an adverb]
Preposition • Begins with preposition and ends with a noun. • Often will show location and time –answer the questions: • WHERE and WHEN • Can be used as adjective / adverb as well. • Examples: • In the Middle Ages people only bathed once a year; that bath usually took place in May. • The monkey with the banana was jumping in his cage.
Appositive • Renames the noun – or describes which one? • Always set apart with commas • Mexico City, the biggest city in the world, has many interesting archaeological sites. • Denver, the capital of Colorado, is the home of the Denver Broncos, the least dominant football team in the US.
Participle • Verb used as an adjective ending in –ing or –ed. • Example: The children, playing with markers, made a mess of the kitchen floor.
Absolute • Modifies the rest of the sentence. • Begins with personal pronoun set apart with commas • Examples: • His attitude great, the biker would rather go another fifty miles than sit around in the lodge.
