Subject and Predicate

Here is a fabulous video with the basics definitions of subject and predicate:

One of the first things we talked about with this topic was that each sentence must have a subject and a predicate or it is not a complete sentence.  This game is great for checking for that.  Be careful, it tries to trick you: http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/game/en30stru-game-spot-the-sentence  It is a British game, so it says "full stop" instead of "period."

This website has worksheets (and the answers!) for complete subject and complete predicate as well as simple subject and simple predicate: http://www.englishforeveryone.org/Topics/Subjects-and-Predicates.htm

The students should be able to combine simple sentences into sentences with compound subjects or compound predicates.  Examples:
Narnia is magical.  Hogwarts is magical. - Narnia and Hogwarts are magical.
Lucy can sing.  Lucy can dance. - Lucy can sing and dance.

This worksheet will help with identifying run-on sentences: http://englishforeveryone.org/PDFs/Run%20on%20sentences.pdf

This game will help you practice if it is a sentence, a run on sentence or a fragment (not a sentence): http://www.quia.com/rr/235542.html

Here is a quiz where you can test your skills: http://www.quia.com/quiz/718830.html?AP_rand=129301858

Good luck studying!
