24. Parts of Speech ADJECTIVES

25. Parts of Speech: Adjectives  Adjective (adj)— a word that describes a noun. Typically goes before the noun.  Adjective formulas:  Adj + S + V  S + V + Adj  The girl with the frizzy red hair came to my awesome birthday party.

26. Direct Objects

27.  Direct Object (DO)— The noun that receives the action of an action verb. May be identified by asking the question, “(verb) what?” [Direct objects will be boxed in blue]  Direct Object formula: S + V + DO  Students read.  Students read books.

28. Direct Objects  Transitive Verb (Vt)— A verb that has a direct object.  Intransitive Verb (Vi)— A verb that lacks a direct object.  Vi— Messi plays.  Vt— Messi plays football.  Linking verbs may never be transitive.  Vi— Messi is the best.

29. Direct Objects  Let’s try identifying transitive and intransitive verbs together.  Arianne gives a gift.  Eric and Robby sing together well.  The devious dog stole the leftover food from the cat.

30. Predicate Nominatives

31. Predicate Nominative  Predicate Nominative (PN)— The word a linking verb connects to the subject of the sentence. These may be either nouns or adjectives. [Predicate nominatives will be dash-boxed in blue]  Predicate Nominative formula: S + V + PN  Christina is a girl.  Christina feels ready for the week.

32. Predicate Nominative  Predicate nouns can replace the subject in the sentence as they represent the same concept. The predicate noun just describes the subject using different words. Reversing the order of the subject and the PN does not change the meaning of the sentence.  Christina is a girl. = A girl is Christina.  Hercules is a hero. = A hero is Hercules.

33. Predicate Nominative  Predicate adjectives cannot replace the subject, they simply describe some quality it has. They offer information about details about the subject.  Christina feels ready for the week. ≠ Ready feels Christina for the week.  English class is exciting. ≠ Exciting is English class.Wrong part of speech before verb Excitement is English class. √ Correct with predicate noun

34. Predicate Nominatives  Let’s try identifying predicate nominatives together.  I love sports day!  DO: I love sports day ≠ Sports day loves me. (non-reversible)  Running is fun!  PN: Running is fun. (is = linking verb)  I have four classmates on my team.  I have four classmates on my team. ≠ Four classmates have me on my team. (non-reversible)  We will feel victorious.  We will feel victorious. (victorious = adj)

35. Exit Slip  Write a sentence using each of the following formulas.  Not for a grade. May be on scrap paper.  Turn into Jeryl before the bell.  Remember, DO’s explain actions the subject does to other nouns; PN’s give descriptive details about the subject.  S + V + DO  Adj + S + V + DO  S + V + PN  S + V + adj + PN
