6th Test Review

Change the following statements into questions.

A sentence that tells us something is a statement. One way it can be changed into a question is to use do, does or did as the first word.

An example is given below.

• My sister enjoys playing tennis. (Statement)
• Does my sister enjoy playing tennis? (Question)

1. He spends a lot of time working on his computer.

2. My father goes to office by car.

3. The children practice the piano every morning.

4. Our team played well yesterday.

5. I met your dad yesterday.

6. He wants to go abroad.

7. Susie sings well.

8. Maya bought a new car last week.

More Practice!

Subjects and predicates are easy to find! Let's practice! Remember, underline the subject with 2 lines and the predicate twice.

1) I want a new car. 

2) James is nice. 

3) The sun is moving. 

4) Max wrote the letter. 

5) The letter was written by Max.

 6) The farmers are plowing the field.

7) Billy Reynolds is an amazing baseball player. 

8) The storm clouds are getting darker.

 9) Dogs, cats, and turtles make the best pets. 

Underline the simple subject and circle the simple predicate in each sentence below.

Example: My

mother

read a book.

1. The teacher graded the homework papers.

2. John drove the car to the store.

3. We liked the last play of the game.

4. They were singing in the park.

5. On Tuesday the happy children watched a movie.

6. The scout troop met in the morning.

Underline the simple subject and circle the simple predicate in each sentence below.

Example: My

mother

read a book.

1. The teacher graded the homework papers.

2. John drove the car to the store.

3. We liked the last play of the game.

4. They were singing in the park.

5. On Tuesday the happy children watched a movie.

6. The scout troop met in the morning.

Every complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate. The subject tells what the sentence is about. The predicate tells something about the subject. A simple subject is the subject without any descriptive words. A simple predicate is the verb in the predicate. Underline the simple subject and circle the simple predicate in each sentence below.

 Example: My mother read a book. 

1. The teacher graded the homework papers. 

2. John drove the car to the store. 

3. We liked the last play of the game. 

4. They were singing in the park. 

5. On Tuesday the happy children watched a movie. 

6. The scout troop met in the morning.

 3. I saw a frog. I did not see a turtle.

4. We did not go to the car wash. We did not go to the mall.

 5. Dad used a hammer. He did not have nails

More Practice!. 

Hello sixth graders!  We are learning what subjects and predicates are. We are also learning how to change statements into questions. Now you can practice even more. Teacher will talk about this in the classroom.

Simple Subjects and Predicates
* Every sentence has two main parts: a simple subject and a simple predicate.
The simple subject of a sentence is the main word in the complete subject. It is always a
noun or a pronoun. Sometimes, the simple subject is also the complete subject.

Example: Most birds | can fly.
Example: They | can fly because they have wings.

The simple predicate is the complete verb within the complete predicate. The simple
predicate may be one or more words.

Example: Most birds | can fly.
Example: They | can fly because they have wings.
________________________________________________________________________
Directions: Draw a line between the complete subject and the complete predicate in the
following sentences. Then underline the simple subject and draw a box
around the simple predicate.

Example: David’s entire family | ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant last night.

1) Daniel can come with us to the movie.
2) Liz is my best friend.
3) The moon is shining bright.
4) Cassia is writing a letter.
5) Dinner will be ready in fifteen minutes.
6) The firemen are extinguishing the fire.
7) We went to lunch with Amar and his friend today.
8) Juan and Julian worked so hard on their project.
9) A large number of swimmers competed in the race this year.
10) The tired old man came in from the rain.

Parents, you can use this site to learn more about this skill. 

Hello fourth Graders! We are studying the Modal Verbs. Here you have more information about what they are.

A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The modals and semi-modals in English are:

1. Can/could/be able to
2. May/might
3. Shall/should
4. Must/have to
5. Will/would

You can also visit this link to learn more about Modal Verbs.

Let's play now!

Hello Fifth graders! Here we are again. This time you are going to learn more about the coordinating conjunctions or ABYFONS. Let's see!

Conjunctions join clauses (ideas)

Con = with or together, junct = join, tion = the act of

Conjunction - the act of joining together

Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)  - combine 2 sentences together  - called a compound sentence  - A comma is placed before the conjunction. For   And   Nor   But   Or   Yet   So EX:  I like pizza, but my favorite food is a taco.  EX:  He wanted to go home, so he pretended  to be si   Compound Subjects and Compound Verbs Sometimes a conjunction joins subjects or  verbs together. EX:  Bob and Jim wanted pizza. EX:  Bob read and tested on the book.   If there are 2 subjects and 1 verb,  no comma is needed.   EX:  John and I like pizza.   (2 subjects - John, I)   If there is 1 subject and 2 verbs,  no comma is needed.   EX:  I ate and slept yesterday.  (2 verbs - ate, slept)

Sentence or Fragment

Remember, a fragment is not a complete sentence.  It does not have both a subject and a verb.  For a sentence to be complete, it must have both a subject and a verb, and express a complete thought.  

 Example:  After the game.  This is a fragment because it doesn’t have a subject and a verb or express a complete thought.

Decide if each group of words is a fragment or a complete sentence.  Write your answer on the line provided.  

1. Because we left early.  ____________________

2. I left the bag.  ____________________

SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT

RULES FOR SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT

 RULE 1 – A verb agrees with its subject in number.

  Singular subjects take singular verbs:

   The car stays in the garage.    The flower smells good.

 There is an old saying: “Opposites attract.” The rule for singular and plural verbs is just the opposite of the rule for singular and plural nouns. Remember this when you match subjects and verbs. You might guess that stays and smells are plural verbs because they end in s. They aren’t. Both stays and smells are singular verbs.

 RULE 2 – The number of the subject (singular or plural) is not changed by words that come between the subject and the verb.

 One of the eggs is broken. Of the eggs is a prepositional phrase. The subject one and the verb is are both singular. Mentally omit the prepositional phrase to make the subject verb-agreement easier to make.

SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT EXERCISE 1

 Direction: Circle the correct verb in each of the sentences below. Check your answers on the following page.

1. Your friend (talk-talks) too much.

2. The man with the roses (look-looks) like your brother.

3. The women in the pool (swim-swims) well.

4. Bill (drive-drives) a cab.

5. The football players (run-runs) five miles every day.

6. That red-haired lady in the fur hat (live-lives) across the street.


Singular and plural subjects:
A singular subject refers to one (1) thing or person.
A plural subject refers to more than one thing or person.
Write S for a singular subject and P for a plural subject.

___1, The horses
___2. The house
___3. My car
___4. Carlos and Pedro
___5. These pencils


Subject - Verb Agreement with Verb to BE.

The cat (is-are-am) playing.
My notebook (is-are-am) big.
The papers (is -are-am) on the floor.
My toys ( is-are-am ) interesting.
