Reassessment Write out each sentence, using correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation

What Makes a Complete Sentence A complete sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark (. ? ! ) Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. – A main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. This means the main clause could stand alone as a sentence.

Subjects and Verbs A subject is the noun or pronoun that the whole sentence is about. It is the person, place, or thing that does the action. A verb is what the noun DOES or IS (action word) – Verbs sometimes have helpers (helping verbs) like should or have Examples: – Miss Elledge went to the store. – You should watch where you are going in the hallways. – After watching her favorite show, Sally called her best friend to see what she thought about the surprise ending.

Main Clause Remember, all complete sentences must contain at least one main clause. – A main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. This means the main clause could stand alone as a sentence. Example: – Once she had finished her new book, Sabriel, Lindsey returned it to the library. Notice that the first clause “Once she had finished her book, Sabriel” cannot stand alone as a sentence, even though it has a subject and verb. “Lindsey returned it to the library” can stand alone as a sentence and has a subject and verb, so it is the main clause.

Identify the Main SUBJECT and VERB- Write the answer in your THROUGH Stacy danced around her bedroom. The students walked into class silently. She watched the football game with anticipation. Before beginning the worksheet, you should read the directions.
