SENTENCE A sentence is a group of words that
forms a complete thought.
Basic Parts of a SentenceIn other words:1. Subject 2. Predicate3. Expresses a complete thought
Basic Parts of a Sentence a complete subject (which tells who or
what is doing something) a complete predicate (which tells what
the subject is doing).
Basic Parts of a Sentence - 502
subject - who or what is doing something The subject is the part that is doing
something or about which something is being said.
Predicate - what the subject is doing The predicate is the part that says something about the
subject.

Subjects and Predicates simple subject – consists of the subject
without the words that modify it. Every subject is built around one noun or
pronoun (or more) that, when stripped of all the words that modify it, is known as the simple subject. Consider the following example:
A piece of pepperoni pizza would satisfy his hunger.
The subject is built around the noun "piece," with the other words of the subject -- "a" and "of pepperoni pizza" -- modifying the noun. "Piece" is the simple subject.
Subjects and Predicates
Complete Subject – made up of the simple subject plus its modifiers make the complete subject. Complete Subject: The large, umbrella-shaped
parachute saved the life of the inexperienced pilot.
(The complete subject is the simple subject—“parachute”—plus all its modifiers.)
Subjects and Predicates
Complete Predicate – made up of the simple predicate plus its modifiers. The large, umbrella-shaped
parachute saved the life of the inexperienced pilot.
(The complete predicate is the simple predicate—“saved”—plus all its modifiers.)
Subjects and Predicates A simple predicate - the verb without the
words that modify it or complete the thought. The glacier melted. The glacier has been melting. The glacier melted, broke apart, and
slipped into the sea.
Subjects and Predicates A compound subject - includes two or
more subjects that share the same predicate (or predicates). The craters and plains of the moon have
had no human visitors for some time.
Subjects and Predicates A compound predicate - includes two or
more predicates that share the same subject (or subjects). The glacier began to slip down the
mountainside and eventually crushed some of the village's outlying buildings.
Clauses and Phrases A phrase - a group of related words
that does not contain a subject-predicate (verb) relationship, such as "in the morning" or "running down the street" or "having grown used to this harassment."
Clauses and Phrases A clause - a group of related words
containing a subject and a predicate (verb)
Clauses and Phrases An Independent Clause - a group of
related words containing a subject and a verb and form a complete thought.
Dependent Clauses a/k/a subordinate clauses – clauses that do NOT form a complete thought.
Fragments - 503 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-SAc3Q
gIsU Incomplete sentences are called
fragments. Fragments may be missing a subject, a
predicate, or a complete thought.
FragmentsFragments are incomplete sentences. Usually,
fragments are pieces of sentences that have become disconnected from the main clause. One of the easiest ways to correct them is to remove the period between the fragment and the main clause. Other kinds of punctuation may be needed for the newly combined sentence.

Fragments
You may have noticed that newspaper and magazine journalists often use a dependent clause as a separate sentence when it follows clearly from the preceding main clause, as in the last example above. This is a conventional journalistic practice, often used for emphasis. For academic writing and other more formal writing situations, however, you should avoid such journalistic fragment sentences.

You may have noticed that newspaper and magazine journalists often use a dependent clause as a separate sentence when it follows clearly from the preceding main clause, as in the last example above. This is a conventional journalistic practice, often used for emphasis. For academic (school) writing and other more formal writing situations, however, you should avoid such journalistic fragment sentences.
Fragments
Some fragments are not clearly pieces of sentences that have been left unattached to the main clause; they are written as main clauses but lack a subject or main verb.

Run-On Sentences - 504 Run-On Sentences
A run-on sentence is a sentence with at least two independent clauses (complete thoughts) which are forced together instead of being properly connected.
Run-On Sentences - 504 To correct these sentences, you
have several options:
1) Separate clauses using punctuation.
2) Separate clauses using a conjunction.
3) Rearrange the sentence (you may add or remove words).
Run-On Sentences - 504 EXAMPLES Run-on sentence: He put on some
sunscreen, the sun was so extremely hot, and he wanted to go inside. “He put on some sunscreen” 1st
clause “the sun was so extremely hot” 2nd
clause “he wanted to go inside” 3rd clause
Corrected sentence: He put on some sunscreen because the sun was extremely hot. He wanted to go inside.
Run-On Sentences - 504 In other words, run-on sentences
happen when two or more sentences are put together as one sentence. Manta rays are similar to sharks they both
have skeletons made of cartilage. http://youtu.be/P6ARqUdCkdg http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/gramm
