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)
