- My aunt Alice ran in a marathon last weekend.
- The sleepy kitten peacefully slept on the couch.
Lesson: Today we started by reviewing what we learned yesterday. We went over several examples of complete and simple subjects. Then the students learned about simple and complete predicates. The complete predicate of a sentence tells what the subject is doing. It includes a verb and all other details that describe what is going on. The simple predicate of a sentence is the main verb in the predicate that tells what the subject does. The simple predicate is one word.
For example..
- My father fixed the dryer. Fixed the dryer is the complete predicate.
- My father fixed the dryer. Fixed is the simple predicate.
