  6. Direct Object • Direct Object • Receives the action of a verb. It answers the question whom? Or what? • After an action verb • Example: I gave a gift to you. • Example: Peeta gave the bread to Katniss.

  8. Subject-Verb Agreement • Subject-Verb Agreement • If the subject is plural, the verb should indicate that.

  9. Slap That! • You will be divided into two teams. • One person from each team comes up and has to slap the verb that agrees with the subject. The fastest person to slap the CORRECT verb will earn a point for their team. Slap the wrong verb, and you lose a point. • The winning team gets an option: • Treats? • Epic Win Passes?
