  9. Sentence fragments

  10. Sentence Fragments • A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate • The subject is who or what the sentence is about • The predicate tells what the subject is doing and includes the verb • A sentence fragment is a group of words that is not a complete sentence • It can be missing a subject • It can be missing a predicate • Example: The really funny movie. (missing predicate) • Example: Ran through the mall. (missing subject)

  11. Sentence Fragments To correct a sentence fragment: • Add a subject if the subject is missing • The excited girls ran through the mall. • Add a predicate if the predicate is missing • The really funny movie made everyone in the theater laugh out loud.

  12. Let’s practiceDecide if each sentence is a complete sentence or a sentence fragment 1. Worked outside in the yard today. 2. My horrible math homework. 3. I love to swim in the ocean. 4. Went to see her new house. 5. I wish I could go with you. 6. Fifth grade is the best grade! 7. Hannah’s new car is orange! 8. Can’t go with you tomorrow. 1. fragment 2. fragment 3. sentence 4. fragment 5. sentence 6. sentence 7. sentence 8. fragment

  13. Let’s practice Now turn to “Fragments” and rewrite the six fragments into complete sentences with a partner.

  14. Sentence variety

  15. Simple Sentences • A simple sentence has exactly one subject and one predicate • Greta called me yesterday. • They can be short (as long as they have both a subject and a predicate) • John laughed. • They can be long (as long as they only have one subject and one predicate) • The tall, good-looking boy with the curly blond hair laughed loudly at his best friend’s joke.

  16. Simple Sentences • In a simple sentence, the simple subject is just the noun part of the subject. • Example: Beautiful Josie went to the movies. • Josie is the simple subject because she is the noun that the sentence is about • In a simple sentence, the simple predicate is the main verb of the predicate. • Example: Beautiful Josie went to the movies. • went is the simple predicate because it is the main verb

  17. Let’s practice Turn to “Simple Sentences, Simple Subjects, and Simple Predicates” in your notes packet to complete the activity with a partner.

  18. Compound Sentences • A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences • If you remove the comma and conjunction (but, and, so, or) you have two complete sentences. • Greta called me yesterday, but I wasn’t home. • I went to Target, and I purchased a new shirt. • My mom loves roses, so I bought her roses for Mother’s Day. Turn in to “Compound Sentences” in notes packet to complete the activity with a partner.

  19. Let’s practice Turn to “Compound Sentences” in your notes packet to complete the activity with a partner.

  20. Complex Sentences • A complex sentence is made up of a simple sentence and a dependent clause • Dependent Clause: a group of words that contains a subject and a verb, but does not express a complete thought • May seem like a compound sentence, but one of the parts is a fragment • When Jim studied for his test in the bakery, he had trouble concentrating because of the noise. • Although I like to go camping, I have been too busy to go this year.

  21. Let’s practice Turn to “Complex Sentences” in your notes packet to complete the activity with a partner.

  22. Run-On Sentences

  23. Run-On Sentences • A run-on sentence is more than one complete thought that lacks punctuation • A run-on sentence can be long • Example: The girl and her friend went to the mall then they went to the movies after that they went to the grocery store. • A run-on sentence can be short • She is a truck driver she is a mother. • When there is more than one complete thought, punctuation and additional words need to be added • Example: The girl and her friend went to the mall, the movies, and the grocery store. • Example: She is a truck driver, and a mother.

  24. Run-on sentences To correct a run-on sentence: • Add punctuation (usually a period or comma) and conjunctions (and, but, or) to combine sentences • Johnny is tall he is friendly he is stylish he is athletic. • Johnny is tall, athletic, friendly,and stylish. • Johnny is tall and stylish. He is also athletic and friendly. • Rearrange words, primarily adjectives • The icicles were melting they dripped into the bucket below. • The melting icicles dripped into the bucket below.

  25. Let’s practiceDecide if each sentence is a complete sentence or a run-on sentence 1. Blue is my favorite color it is the color of the sky. run-on 2. We usually leave by 11:00 but today is different we are leaving at 10:30. run-on 3. I like Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but not Mondays. sentence 4. We should get going we don’t have time to waste. run-on

  26. Let’s practice Turn to “Run-On Sentences” and rewrite the six run-ons into well-written, complete sentences with a partner. Then complete “Sentence Fragment vs. Run-On Sentence.”

  27. Writing Academic sentences

  28.

  29. Writing academic sentences • Example: Whoare the main characters in the story? • Steps: • 1. Discard the question word (who, what, where…) • 2. Find the part of the question you are looking to answer (the main characters, the setting, the problem…). Use this to start your answer. • 3. Add other important information from the question (in the story, from the movie…) • 4. Add a transitional word (are, is, were, was, by, because…) to begin your answer • 5. Write the specific answer. • 6. End with a period. • A sample complete answer: • The main characters in the story are Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

  30. Let’s practiceanswer each question in a complete, academic sentence 1. What is your favorite color? My favorite color is… 2. Who is your best friend? My best friend is… 3. Where do you live? I live in… 4. When is your birthday? My birthday is…
