Now Do You Get It?

We worked on parts of speech today and reviewed subjects and predicates. Break the sentences into "pieces" like we did in class today. The subject of the sentence tells who or what did the action in the sentence or who or what the sentence is about. The predicate of the sentence is a verb. It tells what the subject did or tells more about the subject. Compound Subjects contain 2 subjects joined by a conjunction. Compound predicates contain 2 predicates joined by a conjunction. 

Prepositions must have a noun or pronoun as the object of the preposition. Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and end with a noun or pronoun as the object of the preposition.

Remember!!!!! Every word in a sentence has a job to do!

An example of all of the above: Mr. Bellerose and Mr. O'Brien washed and waxed Mrs. Downey's car in Mrs. Jaggers' driveway.   Can you identify the compoound subject, the compound predicate,  and the the prepositional phrase???????
