Title: SENTENCES

SENTENCES
  • WHAT YOU MUST KNOW

2
Every sentence requires 5 things
  • a capital letter at the beginning
  • a punctuation mark at the end
  • a subject
  • a predicate
  • and a complete thought

3
The three punctuation marks that can be used to
end sentences are
  • a period (.),
  • a question mark (?),
  • or an exclamation point (!).

4
Use a period (.)
  • At the end of a telling sentence (a statement)
  • At the end of a directive (a command)

5
Use a question mark (?)
  • At the end of an asking sentence (a question)

6
Use an exclamation mark (!)
  • At the end of a sentence that shows excitement or
    strong emotion

7
The subject is who or what the sentence is about.
  • The boy is having a good time.

8
The predicate tells what the subject is or does.
  • The boy plays his drum loudly.

9
If you have not written a sentence, you have
written either a fragment or a run-on.
10
A fragment is a group of words that does not make
a complete thought.
  • The baker
  • My mother
  • is a very good student
  • ran down the street yelling loudly
  • is yellow and green

11
A run-on is two or more complete thoughts,
incorrectly punctuated as one sentence.
  • John is a good student he works hard and does his
    homework every night.
  • My vacation was fun we went to Disney World we
    saw Mickey Mouse.
