  1. 9 comp. Quarter 2

  2. Review • Noun • Verb • Adjective • Articles • Adverb • Parts of the sentence • Predicate • Subject • Simple subject • Simple predicate

  3. 10/31 Sentences • The best way to find the subject is to find the verb first. • Next, ask “who or what” in front of the verb. • REMEMBER: the subject of a sentence is never in a prepositional phrase. • Practice: • Over the hill horses thundered. • Find the verb: • Who or what ? • Evangeline Booth was General of the International Salvation Army from 1934 to 1939. • Verb: • Who or what ?

  4. Find the subject and the verb: • Have you heard of Nellie Bly, the famous newspaper reporter? • In 1876 Melville Bissell invented the carpet sweeper. • Under her management as corporation president, the company sold millions of carpet sweepers.

  5. A pine-forested area of New Jersey is supposedly haunted by the Jersey Devil. • Oregon is haunted by legends of the less aggressive Bigfoot. • Its shaggy coat of hair looks like a bear’s pelt. • Stories around Lake Champlain tell about a monster resembling a sea serpent in the depths of the lake.

  6. 11/4 grammar • Was the train late? • There are insects in our garden. • Notice that the verb was, is at the front of the sentence. To help figure out the subject change the order of the verb: • The train was late. • Insects are in our garden. • You try; change the order of the sentence—make the question a statement: • Has she answered the letter? There is a clerk at the counter. • Does she have a ride home?

  7. Subject/Verb practice—11/4 • There is a drawbridge over the river. • Natuallry, there are answers, too. • Where is Plymouth rock? • What does “squatter’s rights” mean? • How is the movie different? • Most of the women voted.

  8. 11/8 • Subjects in an unusual position: • Sentences that ask questions • Sentences that begin with the words there or here.

  9. Sentences that ask questions: • Questions often begin with a verb or a verb helper. • They also begin with the words what, when ,where, how or why. • ***The Subject ordinarily follows the verb or verb helper*** • Examples: • How is the movie different? • Does she have a ride home?

  10. You can also find the subject by turning the question into a statement, then asking “who” or “What” before the main verb. • Example: • Was the train late?=The train was late. • [what was late? Train] • Has she answered the letter?

  11. Sentences that begin with There: • ‘There’ is never the subject of a sentence except when spoken of as a word [like in this sentence!] • There can be used to get a sentence started when the real subject comes after the verb. • To find the subject, omit there and ask “who or what?” before the verb.

  12. Examples: • There is a drawbridge over the river. • Omit there • A drawbridge is over the river. • There are insects in our garden. • Omit there • Insects are in our garden. • There was a clerk at the counter.

  13. 11/5 • The Understood Subject: • In a request or command (imperative sentence) the subject of the sentence is usually not stated. • In these sentences, the subject is “understood”to be the subject. • Please answer the phone. • Listen carefully to his question, class.

  14. 11/5 classwork • Writing assignment: [put this on loose-leaf to turn in] • Write ten sentences that are requests or commands; include nouns of direct address in 5 of these sentences.
