Chapter 1 Sentences
Chapter 1 Lesson 1 Sentences
To identify subjects, predicates, and complete sentences. To write sentences describing something made by hand.
What makes up a sentence?
A sentence is a group of words that express a complete thought. A sentence expresses a complete thought by naming someone or something and telling what that person or thing is or does.
The naming part of a sentence is called the subject. The telling part of a sentence is called the predicate. Put these two things together and you have a complete thought! Remember to always begin a sentence with a capital letter and end it with an end mark.
My friend Mark makes furniture by hand. Naming Part: My friend Mark Telling Part: makes furniture by hand. Naming = Subject Telling = Predicate
A group of words may not always form a sentence. If this group of words does not have both a subject and a predicate, it is not a sentence. When groups of words are not a sentence, they are called fragments.
Is this a sentence: A person with skilled hands. No, it is not! There is no predicate, or telling portion. We are left asking, What does this person do? Is this a sentence: A person with skilled hands makes useful things. Yes it is! It has both a subject and predicate.
My family visited many cities this summer. Yes, it is a sentence! Spent hours in gift shops. No, this is not a sentence. Works of art by people in the city. No, this is not a sentence. Quilting is a traditional handicraft. Yes, this is a sentence! Some people make books and furniture by hand. Yes, this is a sentence!
Other people make baskets. Yes, it is a sentence! Picture frames, tables, and many other things. No, this is not a sentence. Handmade rugs are always nice. Yes, this is a sentence! Even lamps can be made by hand. Yes, this is a sentence! Beautiful handmade wall hangings. No, this is not a sentence.
What is the naming part of a sentence is called? What is the telling part of a sentence is called? What two things do you always do to a sentence?
