Title: SENTENCES
1SENTENCES
2Every sentence requires 5 things
- a capital letter at the beginning
- a punctuation mark at the end
- a subject
- a predicate
- and a complete thought
3The three punctuation marks that can be used to
end sentences are
- a period (.),
- a question mark (?),
- or an exclamation point (!).
4Use a period (.)
- At the end of a telling sentence (a statement)
- At the end of a directive (a command)
5Use a question mark (?)
- At the end of an asking sentence (a question)
6Use an exclamation mark (!)
- At the end of a sentence that shows excitement or
strong emotion
7The subject is who or what the sentence is about.
- The boy is having a good time.
8The predicate tells what the subject is or does.
- The boy plays his drum loudly.
9If you have not written a sentence, you have
written either a fragment or a run-on.
10A 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
11A 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.
