This document discusses different types of sentences. It defines a sentence as a group of words that expresses a complete thought and includes a subject and predicate. There are three main types of sentences: simple sentences, which contain a subject and predicate; compound sentences, which contain at least two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction; and complex sentences, which have one independent clause and at least one dependent clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction. Examples and diagrams are provided to illustrate each sentence type. Key parts of a sentence like the subject, predicate, and phrases are also defined.
This slideshow is supplement material to teach proper usage of nouns to my sixth grade students. The includes common nouns, proper nouns, singular noun, plural nouns, and, the most dreaded noun of them all, collective nouns. The slides were used in class, but parents and students may access the show online to review and study noun.
NOTE: If you click the link that is embeded on Slide 15, a new window will open for the animation.
We all do our research and put an effort in making a clear and an accurate presentation, but I'd be glad if this could help especially for those who are taking major in English and the like. Good luck!
A proper credit would be appreciated.
