Super Subjects and Perfect Predicates!

Mrs. Ranney's class has been working on learning about 

what it takes to create a 
SENTENCE!

We have learned that it takes two parts: 
a SUBJECT 
and 
a PREDICATE.


The subject tells the person or thing the sentence is about.
The predicate tells what the subject is or does.
The predicate always includes a verb!



  

Here are some examples:






Here are some more spectacular sentences we created with 
super subjects and perfect predicates!
(Hint: Click on the picture to make it larger!)











********

Why don't you try creating a special sentence of your own?
It can be about any topic you like.


After creating your sentence and typing it into your comment, tell us what the subject is and what the predicate is, or
if you want to give us a challenge...
Ask us to tell you what the subject and predicate are!

  1. Dear Class,

    I have Halloween sentences for you. A skeleton is playing in my pool. A spider builds a web in my sister's closet. A bat hangs on the side of my roof. What is the subject and the predicate in my sentences?

    Sincerely,
    Annsley

    1. Dear Annsley,

      Those are some great sentences with super subjects and perfect predicates!

      The subject in your first sentence is A skeleton. The predicate is is playing in my pool. The verb in the predicate is is playing!

      We hope someone from class tells you about the other sentences!

      All the best,
      Mrs. Ranney's Class

      The subject in the third sentence is A bat .

      The predicate is hangs on the side of my roof. . The verb in the predicate is hangs .

  2. Dear Mrs. Ranney's class,

    I love to write and here are five sentences. See if you can separate the subject from the predicate.


    Buck and I love to run on the trails near our house.
    Harvey is a humorous African gray parrot.
    Yollis' 365 Blog has a plethora (pleth • ə • rə) of interesting pictures.
    A plethora is a large amount.
    The schwa (ə) makes everyone smile.


    Here are the answers:

    Buck and I ◊ love to run on the trails near our house.
    Harvey ◊ is a humorous African gray parrot.
    Yollis' 365 Blog ◊ has a plethora (pleth • ə • rə) of interesting pictures.
    A plethora ◊ is a large amount.
    The schwa (ə) ◊ makes everyone smile.



    See if you can add some new sentence!

    Your neighbor,
    Mrs. Y♥llis

  3. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I enjoyed reading your post and trying the sentences with my Mom.  The schwa made me smile.  I looked up schwa and learned that it represents a mid-central vowel in an unstressed syllable, such as the second syllable of woman.

    I have a new sentence for you.  The woman plays guitar.

    Sincerely,
    Annsley

  6. Dear Mrs.Ranney,
    Hi it`s Francesca Calle. I`m in fifth grade with Mrs.Cioffi. It`s really exciting to see your third grade blog because I haven`t seen in a very long time. I`ve been learning how to do subject and predicate too. For example: The rushed animals ran quickly out of the red barn. I`m also using Reading Counts which is very fun.
    ♥Best Wishes♥
