Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • In the sentence, "In the tree sat two ravens," the complete subject is two ravens, and the simple predicate is sat.

  • In a question like, "Did you complete your homework?" the complete and simple subject is you, and the simple predicate is did complete.

  • In a command, the subject is implied or assumed to be you, even if it is not explicitly written in the sentence.
