  19. Nouns • Subject of the sentence. • The boy, though just a lad of 15, ran 15 miles through the forest and under the berry bushes. • Direct object • Who or what after the verb. • Tom threw me the ball. • I built a house. • Mr. Snazzy and Mr. Jazzy enjoyed a concert in the park. • Indirect object • To whom or to what. • Tom threw me the ball. • Daddy built his darling son a 50 foot treehouse. • Object of a preposition (for later) • Through the field • Over the fence • After the rain

  22. Subject—Verb agreement • Singular subjects need singular verbs • Locate the verb first. Then ask “Who or what is doing this?” That will tell you the subject of the sentence. Then you can figure out agreement. • Don’t get confused by phrases/clauses that come between the subject and the verb. • There is/are: the subject comes AFTER the verb. • “There is a question.” “There are many questions.”

  23. Pronouns • Objective pronouns • DO, IO, Object of a preposition • Subjective pronouns • Subject of an independent or dependent clause, linking verb • Singular pronouns • Collective singular nouns, or/nor, • Plural Pronouns • Collective plural nouns, and, compound subjects
