Super Subjects With Plenty of Predicate! :-)

Mrs. Yollis' class has been working on learning about 

what it takes to create a 
SENTENCE!

We have learned that it takes two parts: 
SUBJECT 
and 
PREDICATE.


The subject tells the person or thing the sentence is about.
The predicate tells what the subject is or does.
The predicate always includes a verb!



  

Here are some examples






Here are some more spectacular sentences we created with 
super subjects and perfect predicates!
(Click to enlarge.)





********

Why don't you try creating a special sentence or two of your own?
It can be about any topic you like.


After creating your sentence and typing it into your comment, tell us what the subject is and what the predicate is, or
if you want to give us a challenge...
Ask us to tell you what the subject and predicate are!

  1. @ my class,

    I love to write and here are five sentences. See if you can separate the subject from the predicate.


    Buck and I love to run on the trails near our house.
    Harvey is a humorous African gray parrot.
    Yollis' 365 Blog has a plethora (pleth • ə • rə) of interesting pictures.
    A plethora is a large amount.
    The schwa (ə) makes everyone smile.


    Here are the answers:

    Buck and I ◊ love to run on the trails near our house.
    Harvey ◊ is a humorous African gray parrot.
    Yollis' 365 Blog ◊ has a plethora (pleth • ə • rə) of interesting pictures.
    A plethora ◊ is a large amount.
    The schwa (ə) ◊ makes everyone smile.



    See if you can add some new sentence!

    Your teacher,
    Mrs. Y♥llis

  2. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I love subjects and predicates! Here's some of my own:

    King Charles spaniels/were named after King Charles the 2nd.

    ( We've been learning how to use comma's!)
    In Mexico, October 30, 2007, Lily got a Beagle!
    Paul, had to go to school at 8:00, a.m. every day.

    Can you tell me what the subjects and predicates are in the comma sentences?

    Sincerely,
    Chloe

    1. @ Chloe,

      Thanks so much for your fabulous contributions!

      I / did not know the orgin of the King Charles name.

      Yes, we / have been learning about commas.

      I / think you meant to use a comma in direct address with your Paul sentence.

      Chloe, you / are a tremendous writer!

      The class / will learn a lot from you this year.

      Your happy teacher,
      Mrs. Y♥llis

    2. @Mrs. Yollis,

      Thank you for the reply and, for your kind words!

      I / hope we learn more about comma's in class!

      Here are some more sentences with commas:

      "Paul, did you go swimming in the Indian ocean on September 23, 2004?"

      Our teacher, Mrs. Yollis, went paddle boarding on June 30, 2012.

      Can you tell me what the subjects and predicates are in my sentences?

      Your happy student,
      Chloe

      @ Chloe,

      I / love how we are having an interesting conversation!

      Blogging / can be fun and educational.

      This morning, I / threw the racquetball for Buck.

      Answer to your challenge:

      Our teacher, Mrs. Yollis, / went paddle boarding on June 30, 2012.


      I did not separate the subject and predicate in your direct address sentence because it is in the form of a question. I will be talking about that type of sentence this week. Meanwhile, what do you think is the subject in your Paul sentence above?


      Can you, or anyone else, separate the subject and the predicate?

    4. @ Mrs. Yollis and Chloe,

      What an exciting conservation you two are having! If you don't mind, I am going to join in.

      I have some sentences that tell a short story. We are going to tell stories in class too!

      Rocky / was whining to go outside. We / let him outside. He / ran around our backyard. My dad / trusted Rocky that he won't run away and left him to play around. Right when my dad left Rocky, he / raced down the slope that leads to the school, jumped over the fence and ran to school. He / chased a first grader. Rocky / was having a blast at school, but a teacher found him and Rocky was taken downstairs and stayed outside the office. The people who work at the office / called my parents to pick up Rocky. We / have now learned that Rocky can't be trusted outside without anyone watching him. My family / also learned that he can easily jump our backyard fence. Sometimes, Rocky / even jumps back and we don't even know that he went to school! Since that happened, the best solution / is to make the fences higher.

      Can you make up a story and add the Super Subjects and Plenty of Predicates (also known as Perfect Predicates)?

      Your subject and predicate-loving classmate and student,
      Heather

  3. Very pleased to see Oceania and New Zealand getting a mention in your classroom literacy program! I'd also like to acknowledge Chloe as well because I didn't know either about the origin of the King Chales name for Spaniels.

    My large dog Chief - is the subject

    Here are some of our sentences.
    1. Two friends enjoy going to the amazing park together
