Weekly Write You are responsible for completing this one on your own!!! Have it glued into your notebook before Friday. I am grading notebooks on Friday after class!

Weekly Write #6 Referring to Dallas, Ponyboy states, “It would be a miracle if Dallas could love anything. The fight for self-preservation had hardened him beyond caring.” How would you define self-preservation? Do you think a person could really be too hardened to love?

Subjects and Predicates Notebook - page 43

Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject.

Judy and her dog run on the beach every morning.

Judy and her dog run on the beach every morning. First, find the verb and then make a question by placing ``who?'' or ``what?'' before it. The answer is the subject, Judy and her dog.

Complete Subjects A complete subject includes all of the words in the subject of a sentence. Forest workers plant new trees. This is the complete subject.

Complete Predicates A complete predicate includes all of the words in the predicate of a sentence. Forest workers plant new trees. This is the complete predicate.

Compound Subjects and Predicates

Compound Subjects A compound subject has two or more simple subjects that have the same predicate. They are joined by and, or, nor. Trees and grass hold soil in place. This is the compound subject.

Compound Predicates A compound predicate has two or more simple predicates, or verbs, that have the same subject. Rangers explore and protect the forest. This is the compound predicate.

A Little Reminder… Your verb must agree with the noun in the subject. Singular nouns = singular verb(s) Plural nouns = plural verb(s) Hint: They don’t have an (s) Ex. Scientists observe and study the effects of erosion.

What is a Sentence? A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. Examples: Many forests are endangered. Diet Coke is my favorite drink. Brooklyn loves to play in the pool.

What is a Fragment? A fragment DOES NOT express a complete thought. It may be missing a subject, predicate, or both. Examples: Cooper is. Caused the ballgame to be cancelled. Eating chicken.
