  7. Sentence Structure Intro Grammar Section 1:Parts of Speech & Sentence Structure

  8. Descriptive words/joining words Why does all of this matter? Each part of speech has a role to play in the sentence Give Detail Give Detail Give Detail MUST have to form a sentence Verbs (the action) Subject (something/someone DOING the action) Complete thoughts Adjectives Adverbs Prepositions (and prep phrases) Conjunctions Interjections Join hookin’ up words and clauses and phrases Interrupt to show emotion http://grammar.about.com/od/basicsentencegrammar/a/basicstructures.htm

  9. Complete sentence • A group of words that contains a subject and a verb and also expresses a complete thought. • Video on the Subject of the Sentence • http://ttosspon.wikispaces.com/Grammar+Rocks%21#Subject

  10. Finding the Subject • The subject answers “Who or what is the sentence about?” • Usually occurs early in the sentence • Usually a noun (person/place/thing/idea) or pronoun (replaces a noun) • Subject CAN be modified by adjectives. • The subject of a sentence can be compound (more than one subject can do something).

  11. Find the Subject • The road twisted and turned. • A young boy hurried along briskly. • He carried an important message. • A red-winged blackbird flew overhead. • Dark clouds and a sudden wind surprised him. Object: Normal Sentences in English = SVO

  12. Fragments/Run Ons • Fragment is missing ONE or more element • Subject (performing the action) • Verb (the action) • Complete thought • The fisherman put. • And we saw. • In the clouds. • Run On – incorrectly combines two or more COMPLETE sentences • I saw Candy and she saw me but we didn’t go anywhere together.
