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. John went to the store for my mom. Jackson and Mike ate ice cream. Jackson and Mike ate ice cream. Kailey spilled her juice and made a mess with her toys. 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.
