candy to
the
noun
trick-or-treaters
pronoun is used in place of a noun
helping verb is paired with an action verb
action verb shows action
linking verb connects the subject with a predicate and demonstrates the state of being of the
subject (He is smart.)
articles are types of adjectives (a, an, the)
(common) nouns are generic persons, places, things or ideas (boy)
proper nouns are specific persons, places, things, or ideas (Devon)
adjectives describe nouns
adverbs describe verbs or adjectives
coordinating conjunctions link clauses or things of equal value (lists)- For And Nor But Or Yet
So
subordinating conjunctions show that a dependent clause is following
sub
v phr
mod
do
prep phr
you
[will give]
the
candy (to
the
op
trick-or-treaters)
subjects tell the thing(s) that the sentence is about OR who/what is doing the action
verb phrase is a verb team made up of one helping verb and one action verb (will= helping verb
& give= action verb)
modifiers describe
direct object is DIRECTLY affected by the action of the subject
indirect object is INDIRECTLY affected by the action because it is affected by the direct object,
BUT it is NOT in the prepositional phrase
prepositional phrase tells when or where (to, after, during, at, for, etc.) and MUST BE
FOLLOWED BY A NOUN
object of the preposition is a noun or pronoun following the preposition
