Simple Sentences

What is a Sentence? A sentence is the basic unit of written communication. A sentence must have 3 elements: A subject A main verb A complete thought To edit your writing effectively, you must have a basic understanding of what a sentence is and is not.

What is a Simple Sentence? A simple sentence expresses one complete thought. I went to class. She studied for two hours. My English class is hard.

Simple Subject vs. Complete Subject In a sentence, the simple subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. Three popular bands will perform at the concert. The complete subject is the noun plus the words that describe the noun.

Identifying the Subject Ask yourself, “Who or what is the sentence about?” The subject of the sentence is never in a prepositional phrase! When looking for the subject, cross out the prepositional phrase. Two of my students were absent today.

Identifying the Subject Usually, the subject is located before the verb in a sentence. The dog chased the cat. Although I was tired, I went to class. My parents are paying for my classes this semester.

Identifying the Subject Occasionally, the subject will be found after or within the verb. In some questions When did she leave for school? In inverted sentences that begin with Here or There. Here is your textbook. There are several friends coming to my graduation.

Identifying the Subject Also, the subject of the sentence may be unstated. In a command, the unstated subject is you. Get out of here! (You) get out of here! Remember to pay your tuition. (You) remember to pay your tuition.

What is the Main Verb? A main verb tells what the subject does or links the subject to another word that describes it. There are three types of verbs. Action Verb Linking Verb Helping Verb

Action Verbs Action Verb—tells action subject performs. The student strolled down the hall. The teacher lectured for two hours.

Linking Verbs Linking Verb—connects subject to another word or words that describe it. My math teacher is tall. The college campus looks big. Grammar seems difficult.

Helping Verbs Helping Verb—a helping verb joins the action verb to form the complete verb. I should have studied more. The teacher is lecturing. He has been studying all day.

Correctly identifying the verb Ann teaches Philosophy. (action verb) Ann is a teacher. (linking verb) Ann is teaching this summer. (helping verb)
