Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
In sentences where the predicate comes before the subject, like "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 subject is you, and the simple predicate is did complete, split around the subject.
- •
In a command such as "Go sit down," the subject is you, but it is implied rather than explicitly written, and the predicate is go sit down.
