Compare Two Pieces

Highlight all the verbs.
Compare Two Pieces
Subject - the thing that acts
Subject - the thing that acts
Every verb (and sentence) should have a subject - the thing that performs the actions.
In English, not all actions are performed by animate things - objects, and even ideas can perform actions.
For example "Justice demands that I act"
The subject, in this case, is justice - an A_________ noun.
Find the subject
Highlight the subject for each verb. Draw a line to connect the verb to the subject.

How to write gooder Tip - The sentence subject should be the most important thing
A sentence should focus on a thing that is important.
When we know that verbs require subjects, the subject should often be the thing you want to focus the reader's attention on.
You don't have to do it all the time, but doing it some of the time will give your writing some spice and interest.
Example:
"I saw a decrepit looking popcorn maker" is okay.
"A decrepit looking popcorn maker perched on the snack bar" is better - as the focus of the sentence, it is performing the action. Plus, for bonus points, "perched" is an evocative word, that makes it sound like a vulture.
Your turn - pomodoro
