Super Subjects and Plentiful Predicates!

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!



Why don't you try creating a special sentence or two of your own?

Here are some possible subjects:


Buck...
Mrs. Yollis' students...
Panda and Beverly...
On her first day at school, Ramona...
Last Tuesday, our buddies...




Here are some possible predicates:


...took a tour of our classroom. 
...chased a duck across the pond.
...are positive people who persevere!
...worked together to learn how to create compatible numbers
...thought Mrs. Binney would give her a present.




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!

This grammar task is due by Friday! 

subject: This grammar task
predicate: is due by Friday!

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!

Mrs. Yollis' class has been working on learning about 

what it takes to create a 
SENTENCE!

We have learned that it takes two parts: 
a SUBJECT 
and 
a 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 sample subjects the class came up with today.
In the comment section, see if you can make a complete sentence. Of course, you may use your own subject if you prefer.
Buck
Goober
My dog Rocky
Marco
The library book
Panda and Beverly
The school bell
The upper yard
The _____ flower
The lake under the Lost and Found 
I
The children in Mrs. Yollis' class
Here are some student-made predicates. See if you can add a subject to make a sentence. Notice the verbs are bolded!
went to the dog park. 
rode a red bike to the library.
drove to Los Angeles, California. 
played basketball against Kobe.
is under a rock in the tank.
used the Internet to look up pig facts.
watched the Super Bowl with the Giants against the Patriots.
cleaned my messy room. 
walked to the Petting Zoo to pet a mule. 
screamed when she saw the ___________.
swatted the annoying fly.
put on his stinky shoes.
 
 
Challenge: Write some quality sentences to be read in class tomorrow!

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!  


Good luck!
