Scribe - Bella Heis 1/14/14 Smith 9 honors period 3

So today we...

  • Worked on grammar
    • Identifying subject, verb, prepositional phrases (and the object of preposition), and direct objects
      • Subject-part of sentence about which something is said, must be noun, pronoun, gerund, or infinitive, can never be in a prepositional phrase
      • Verb-what is the subject doing?
      • Prepositional phrases-start with preposition, can be taken out of sentence and have the sentence still make sense
        • Object of preposition-follows preposition and tells "what?"
      • Direct object-to find it, say "subject" "verb" "what?" 
        • EX: Most of the students studied their grammar
          • Most (subject) studied (verb) grammar (direct object)
    • This week's sentences
      • their team will practice after school
        • subject-follow rules specified in purple packet (subject ends up being team)
        • verb-follow rules specified in purple packet (verb ends up being practice)
        • prepositional phrase-follow rules specified in purple packet (prep phrase is after school)
          • object of preposition-follow rules specified in purple packet (OP is school)
        • direct object-none in this sentence
      • several of the dogs ate their meal
        • subject-follow rules specified in purple packet NOTE: Never rule out indefinite pronouns (subject ends up being several)
        • verb-follow rules specified in purple packet (verb ends up being ate)
        • prepositional phrase-follow rules specified in purple packet (prep phrase is of the dogs)
          • object of preposition-follow rules specified in purple packet (OP is dogs)
        • direct object-subject, verb, what (several ate meal)
