Proper nouns name specific people, places, or things like names and days. Common nouns refer to general categories like animals or objects. Collective nouns name groups like a flock of birds or a band of musicians. Abstract nouns refer to ideas and concepts that cannot be seen or touched like love or happiness. Concrete nouns name tangible things that can be seen and touched.
Predicate adjectives (PAs) and predicate nouns (PNs) are words that follow linking verbs and describe the subject of the sentence. Linking verbs connect the subject to another word by expressing a state of being rather than an action. Common linking verbs include forms of be, seem, become, and feel. PAs are adjectives that describe the subject, while PNs are nouns that rename the subject. Both PAs and PNs only follow linking verbs and not action verbs.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of nouns. It explains that nouns are naming words that can refer to people, places, objects, ideas, emotions, qualities and activities. It distinguishes between proper nouns, common countable nouns, uncountable nouns, concrete nouns and abstract nouns. It also discusses plural forms of nouns and how nouns can be modified within noun phrases.
Using Parallel Structures and Fixing Structures ProblemsNaary Corral
This document provides information on grammar topics such as sentence structure, parallelism, fragments, run-on sentences, and choppy sentences. It defines these concepts and provides examples to illustrate them. Strategies are presented for correcting common grammar issues such as fragments, run-ons, comma splices, stringy sentences, and improving choppy sentences. The document concludes with a short quiz to test understanding of the topics covered.
The document discusses various techniques for improving sentence variety in writing, including combining long and short sentences, using different sentence types like questions and exclamations, beginning sentences with adverbs or prepositional phrases, and joining sentences through compound predicates, modifiers, appositives, and relative clauses. It cautions against misplaced modifiers and provides examples of each technique to help writers avoid monotonous sentences and ensure their meaning is clear.
The document discusses different types of nouns: countable nouns which can be counted, uncountable nouns which cannot be counted, and proper nouns which are names. It provides examples of each type of noun and discusses how possessives are formed. The document also discusses how nouns can function as adjectives and the different types of compound nouns formed by combining two or more words.
The document discusses different types of sentences: simple sentences contain one subject and predicate, compound sentences contain two or more independent clauses joined with coordinating conjunctions, complex sentences contain one independent and one dependent clause joined by a subordinating conjunction, and compound-complex sentences contain both independent and dependent clauses joined by conjunctions. Examples of each sentence type are provided to illustrate their structures.

Compound subjects and compound predicatesNevineAziz
This document discusses compound subjects and predicates. It provides examples of sentences containing compound subjects, like "Jack and Jill went up the hill" containing the compound subject "Jack and Jill". It also gives examples of sentences with compound predicates, such as "Eric plays football and swims on the swim team" containing the compound predicate "plays football and swims". The document asks the reader to combine sentences to form compound subjects and predicates.
The document contains a grammar lesson with multiple exercises focusing on nouns, proper nouns, plural nouns, possessive nouns, and capitalization. The lesson includes identifying nouns in sentences and paragraphs, writing plurals, determining if a noun is proper or common, using nouns in new sentences, and correcting capitalization errors.
This document discusses different types of nouns including common nouns that name people, places, things, or ideas. It defines proper nouns, concrete nouns, abstract nouns, collective nouns, compound nouns, and possessive nouns. The learning objectives are to identify nouns and adjectives, share ideas about classroom objects using sentences from class discussions.
This document provides an overview of a presentation on the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. It discusses the structure and topics covered by the CCSS for ELA, including the four strands of Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. It also outlines the major shifts required by the CCSS, such as an increased focus on informational texts and text-dependent questions. Finally, it discusses next steps for implementation of the CCSS in the Orting School District, including additional training for teachers in foundational reading skills, vocabulary acquisition, and reading complex texts in all content areas.

The document discusses various techniques for combining sentences, including using key words, phrases, compound subjects/verbs, and longer sentence structures. Some examples provided are combining sentences with adjectives like "Kelly's beaded necklace sparkles", with adverbs as in "Tomorrow I am going to a sleepover", and using phrases such as "Mrs. Brown, our next-door neighbor, makes the best cookies on the block." The techniques of combining sentences can make writing more detailed and cohesive.
The document discusses different ways to combine short, choppy sentences into longer, smoother sentences including:
1. Using a series of words or phrases with parallel structure.
2. Using compound subjects and verbs to join ideas.
3. Moving a key word between sentences to link them.
4. Incorporating phrases like prepositional, participial, infinitive, and appositive phrases.
5. Connecting independent clauses with coordinating conjunctions to form compound sentences.
6. Using subordinate conjunctions and relative pronouns to create complex sentences where one idea is dependent on the other.
The document provides a step-by-step guide to writing sentences, including starting with a capital letter, including a subject and predicate, and ending with proper punctuation. It explains the four types of sentences - declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory - and their definitions and punctuation. The reader is instructed to practice writing one sentence of each type.
This document provides information on sentence types and structures:
- It defines simple, compound, and complex sentences. Simple sentences have one subject and one predicate, compound sentences join two independent clauses, and complex sentences have one independent and one dependent clause.
- The key parts of a sentence are identified as the subject, which indicates what the sentence is about, and the predicate, which describes the subject.
- Common sentence problems like fragments, run-ons, and comma splices are explained along with ways to fix them such as adding a subject or predicate, using coordinating conjunctions, or setting off clauses with commas.
- Joining sentences in various ways using FANBOYS conjunctions and semic

The document discusses predicate nouns and linking verbs. It provides examples of sentences containing a subject, linking verb such as forms of "be", and a predicate noun that renames the subject. Some key points:
- A predicate noun follows a linking verb and refers to the same person, place, thing, or idea as the subject.
- Many examples are given of sentences containing a subject, linking verb such as "is", "are", "was", etc., and a predicate noun.
- Predicate nouns rename the subject and follow a linking verb.
The document discusses strategies for combining sentences, including using conjunctions like "and" and "but" to join two related ideas into a compound sentence. It provides examples of combining sentences about wetlands, salt marshes, and various animals. The key strategies are using conjunctions to link independent clauses, rearranging clauses and ideas to create a smoother flow, and ensuring the combined sentences do not become run-on sentences. Practice combining sentences is recommended to improve this skill.
