Sentences
What are sentences?
How can we make them properly?
What do you need for a sentence?
You need 3 things to have a sentence:
• Subject: person or thing to do an
action
• Predicate: the action (verb)
• FULL Thought
Identify the Subject and Predicate.
John went to the store for my mom.

Jackson and Mike ate ice cream.

Kailey spilled her juice and made a
mess with her toys.

Compounds
Homework is a compound word because it
combines two words.
What do you think a compound subject is?
What do you think a compound predict is?
Sentences that just have one subject and one
predicate are SIMPLE sentences.
Identify the Compounds
Jackson and Mike ate ice cream.
Compound SUBJECT: Jackson and Mike are the
people doing the action (eating)
Kailey spilled her juice and made a
mess with her toys.
Compound PREDICATE: spilled and made are
the verbs
Compound Sentences
Compound sentences combine two
complete sentences into one sentence.
Creating compound sentences may help us avoid
Run-Ons, sentences that just won’t end. Another
way to avoid run-ons is to simply divide the
sentence into independent sentences.
Compound sentences may also make somewhat
simple writing suddenly become more complex.
Making a Compound Sentence
There are two ways to make a compound
sentence:
1. Combine sentences using a comma (,) AND a
conjunction.
Conjunctions are the small words we use to connect our thoughts. Some
conjunctions include: and, but, so, yet …
2. Combine sentences using a semicolon (;).
When you are using this option, the sentences should be very closely linked.
For example: I ran out of the room; I had to get sick.
