Sentence Fragments: Every sentence should have a subject and a predicate. Watch out for sentences that are missing one of these. It is called a fragment. The boys like to go fishing in the pond. The dog and the fish. Like going fishing in the pond. Combining Sentences: Read and reread the combined sentences to see if they make sense and actually say what they are meant to say. Check to make sure that compound sentences are separated with a comma. Read the sentence and make sure it is clear and not too wordy. Compound sentences are joined using a comma and a conjunction, except for because: My dog has brown hair, and he likes to chew on bones. I like the coat because it is warm and soft. It was her birthday, so she blew out all the candles. Modifying nouns with that phrases Use the word that to tell about a noun and add details. This is my dog that Mathew gave me. I like the coat that is green and white. Karla made a bracelet that is purple, blue, and pink. He saw the tractor that got stuck in the mud after it went into the ditch.

(Helping verbs) Verb Tense: The tense of a verb tells when the action takes place: It took place in the past – past tense played cried (yesterday) It takes place now – in the present tense play cry sometimes It will take place later on – in the future tense will play will cry (tomorrow) Perfect Tense: The perfect tenses show that one thing is done before something else, in the past, present, or future: Hence: It took place before something else that took place in the past – past perfect had played Jenga ast week Is taking place now before something else – present perfect have played Jenga before Will take place by the time something else takes place – future perfect will have played 5 times by the end of the day eat : I have eaten pizza before.

Road atlas shows how to drive from one place to another. Almanac – A book for just a certain year. Tells famous stuff that happened in that particular year. Almanacs are often published annually, but they are not necessarily an annual or yearbook like you get in school and put your signatures in. Look up who won things in certain years with an Almanac Annual – Like a high school yearbook. Annual literally means year. Table of Contents: Shows the chapters or sections in a book, the titles of the chapters, and the page numbers where they start Look at the chapter titles to see the topic of each chapter Using Guide Words: Put the guide words and the answer choices in abc order by listing the words: 1. line up the beginning letters that area the same; circle the letter in each word that is different; say your abc’s in your head or write them down on the side of your paper; put the letters down in abc order; read back the letters you circled and wrote down to see if they are in abc order; then choose your answer based on that list. Example: a. b. c. d. microscope middle millage miracle Which word would you find on the dictionary page with these guide words: might – mine Writing Paragraphs: Transition between paragraphs: Mention the topic of the previous paragraph first, then link it to the new topic of the new paragraph. (Try using an awuubus phrase.) Example: Apples are a delicious and healthy fruit. They have lots of vitamins and nutrients. Apples are high in vitamin C, and they are a natural carbohydrate to give you lots of energy. Plus they are good for your teeth. Some people call apples “Nature’s toothbrush.” So besides giving you lots of good healthy vitamins, when you eat an apple, it helps to clean your teeth. Similar to apples, pecans have lots of healthy benefits. They are high in protein, and they have good alternatives to eating meat. You can grab a handful of nuts and feel full in no time. Unlike apples and pecans, candy does not have any nutritional value. All candy has is lots of sugar and calories. After you eat some candy, you might think you feel good, but then in no time, you will start to feel sluggish. Peaches are good for you too. Sugar in candy is not good for you, and it does not give you any beneficial calories. DID YOU NOTICE THE SENTENCE IN THE DIFFERENT FONT?
