1. TYPES OF SENTENCES

There are 4 types of sentences: Declarative, Imperative, Interrogative, and Exclamatory.

• Declarative sentences are statements and end with a period. (.)

• Imperative sentences are commands end with a period. (.)

• Interrogative sentences are auestions end with a question mark. (?)

• Exclamatory sentences are exclamations and end with an exclamation point. (!)

• We also studied Interjections, which are a word or two, like “Wow!” and end with an exclamation mark. (!)

Directions: Read each sentence and add the correct punctuation mark(s). Then, write statement, command, question or exclamation on the line.

1. Jimmy's team won __ _____________________

2. When is your birthday ___ _____________________

3. I’m so excited ___ _____________________

4. Wow __

5. Look at the fireworks ___ _____________________

2. SUBJECTS AND PREDICATES

The subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence is about.

Ex: The woman with the green hat ate lunch.

The predicate of a sentence tells what the subject does or is.

Ex: The woman with the green hat ate lunch.

If a sentence does not have a subject and a predicate, it is a fragment. You can remember this from the word “fragile” which means breakable. A fragment is a broken sentence.

Directions: Draw one line under the subject of each sentence. Draw two lines under the predicate of each sentence. On the line, write if the group of words is a sentence or a fragment.

Ex: The small squirrel scampered across the yard. Sentence

1. A swarm of bees was buzzing around the hive.

2. She rode her bike to the library.

3. E. B. White is the author of Charlotte's Web.

4. The two ladies who were on the bench.

3. WHAT ARE NOUNS?

A noun is a person, a place, or a thing.

Ex: Jimmy read a book in the park.

A common noun names a general person, place or thing.

Ex: The man was kind.

A proper noun names a specific person, place, or thing. Always capitalize the first letter of a proper noun.

Ex: Mr. Brown was kind.

Directions: Underline all the nouns. If there are any proper nouns, rewrite them correctly on the line next to the sentence.

Ex: The boy went to imagine school. Imagine School

1. The house is on main street.

2. Fran went to friendly’s pet shop.

3. The baseball team is called the rays.

5. SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUNS

A singular noun names one person, place, or thing.

Ex: A lizard crawls on top of the rock.

There is only one lizard in the sentence, so the word lizard is a singular noun. Also, there is only one rock in the sentence, so the word rock is a singular noun too.

A plural noun names more than one person, place, or thing.

Ex: Two rabbits ran through the trees.

There is more than one rabbit, so the word rabbits is a plural noun. Also, there is more than one tree, so the word trees is a plural noun too.

Directions: Underline the nouns in each sentence below. Above each noun, write an S if the noun is singular or write a P if the noun is plural.

S P

Ex: Yesterday, the lake was filled with boats.

1. We went to the store to buy two lamps.

2. The notebook was filled with colorful drawings.

3. That lady drives too fast.
