CONJUNCTION
joins words, phrases, or complete sentences: and,
because, so, |
.INTERJECTION
is an exclamation or interruption
and can stand alone: Wow! Awesome!!! |
| A
COMPLETE SENTENCE NEEDS A SUBJECT, A PREDICATE WITH A VERB, AND
TO MAKE SENSE. |
| SIMPLE SUBJECT |
COMPLETE SUBJECT |
COMPLETE PREDICATE: The
VERB and all modifiers |
| Who or what a sentence is about |
the simple subject and all its modifiers |
The predicate provides information about the subject:
what the subject is doing, what the subject is, or what the subject
is like. |
| Georgie
Porgy |
ran. |
| Georgie
Porgy in his yellow raincoat with a hood |
ran all the way to his
grandmother's house in the forest. |

We
are all different in so many ways, and that is what makes our
school, our community, and our world so interesting. The two
classroom posters can guide all of us to respect each other
and ourselves, recognizing that even small acts of meanness
or humiliation get in the way of everyone's learning and growth.
The greatest gift we can give every member of the Richmond community
is honest respect. Let us all pledge to treat each other with
kindness, understanding, and a commitment to discover and value
the best in each other and in ourselves.
