This document discusses identifying subjects and verbs in sentences. It explains that a complete sentence requires both a subject and a verb. A subject is a noun or pronoun, while verbs show action or link the subject to another part of the sentence. The document provides examples of simple and compound subjects and verbs. It also discusses three sentence formats involving subjects, verbs, and direct or indirect objects.

Sentence, Parts of a Sentence, Subject and Predicate, Complements, Direct Object, Indirect Object, Predicate Nominative, Predicate Adjective, Basic Sentence Structure
In English, our sentences usually operate using a similar pattern: subject, verb, then object. The nice part about this type of structure is that it lets your reader easily know who is doing the action and what the outcome of the action is
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Identifying Subjects and Verbs
Key Concept:
A complete sentence requires a subject and a verb; it
also must express a complete thought.
This PowerPoint presentation is based on the following source:
Fitzpatrick, Carolyn H. and MaryBeth B. Ruscica. The Complete Sentence Workout Book. 4th ed. Mass: Allyn and Bacon, 2000. Print.
2. Subjects
A sentence must have a subject.
A subject is a noun
A person, place or thing
Ms. Jones
Los Angeles Mission College
Hat
Or a pronoun
A word that takes the place of a noun
She/he/they
It
3. Verbs
A sentence must also have a verb.
There are 2 types of verbs:
Action
Show movement
Examples: to sing, to joke, to run, to walk
Linking
Linking verbs do not show action. Instead, they convey
existence, being, becoming, and sometimes, one of the 5
senses. Linking verbs connect the subject and the word after
the linking verb.
Examples: to be, to seem, to become
4. Identifying Subjects and Verbs
To identify the subject and verb in a sentence, ask these questions:
What is the action? What word links two or more other
words?
the verb
Who or what is performing the action?
the subject
5. Practice
1. Barbara sang.
What is the action?
Sang (verb – action)
Who sang?
Barbara (subject)
2. The children were happy.
What word joins the description
to the subject? Were (verb – linking)
Who were happy?
Children (subject)
6. More Practice
Identify the subjects and verbs in the following sentences:
1. Terry laughs.
2. Lady Gaga is famous.
3. The dog barked.
4. Seth MacFarlane creates funny characters.
7. More Practice
Identify the subjects and verbs in the following sentences:
1. Terry laughs.
Subject = Terry
Verb = laughs (action)
2. Lady Gaga is famous.
Subject = Lady Gaga
Verb = is (links description to subject)
3. The dog barked.
Subject = the dog
Verb = barked (action)
4. Seth MacFarlane creates funny characters.
Subject = Seth MacFarlane
Verb = creates (action)
8. Simple and Compound Subjects and Verbs
A single subject is referred to as a simple subject.
A single verb is referred to as a simple verb.
Example:
The artist quickly drew the tourist’s caricature.
What is the action? Drew (one action = simple verb)
Who drew? Artist (one actor = simple subject)
9. Compound Subjects
A sentence may also contain a compound subject: two or
more stated nouns or pronouns perform the same action.
Example:
Charles and the boys have gone to the movies.
What is the action? Have gone (one action = simple verb)
Who has gone? Charles + boys
(two stated actors = compound subject)
10. Compound Verbs
A sentence may also contain a compound verb: the subject
performs two or more actions.
Example:
Jane frequently drinks, dances, and parties through the night.
What is (are) the action(s)? Drink, dance, + party
(3 actions = compound verb)
Who drinks, dances and parties? Jane (one stated actor = simple
subject)
11. 3 Possible Combinations
1. Compound Subject/Simple Verb:
In this case, two or more subjects perform one
action.
Example:
George and Frank went to Mexico.
Verb:
went
Subject:
George + Frank
12. 3 Possible Combinations
2. Simple Subject/Compound Verb:
The simple subject of the sentence performs
two or more actions.
Example:
The audience booed and hissed at the performer.
Verb:
booed + hissed
Subject:
The audience
13. 3 Possible Combinations
3. Compound Subject/Compound Verb
This means that two or more subjects perform
two or more actions.
Example:
Greg, Peter, and Bobby danced and ate all night.
Verb:
danced + ate
Subject:
Greg, Peter, + Bobby

Editor's Notes
The sentences we have worked with up to this point have contained only one subject and one verb.
Key concept: The position of words in a sentence helps to convey the sentence’s meaning.
Key concept: The position of words in a sentence helps to convey the sentence’s meaning.
Key concept: The position of words in a sentence helps to convey the sentence’s meaning.
Sentence Format 2 builds upon Sentence Format 1 (S-V). It simply adds another word and relationship to the format.
The DO receives the action of the verb.
You could also construct the sentence in this manner: Hector threw the ball to me.
Notice that me is now the object of the preposition to. You can place to or for in front of the indirect object.
