Std. 5 Compound Subjects and Predicates

Welcome to english class.

Today we will be discussing compound subjects and credit kids.

Our objectives for today's lesson are to identify compound subjects

in sentences, to identify compound predicates in sentences and to

use coordinating conjunctions to join compound subjects and compound pretty

kids. Let's have a little review about sentences.

So if we look at the sentence here, the pencil

fell to the floor.

What is the sentence about?

Hence sir?

And what the depends do said So as we previously

reviewed, we know that a subject and a predicate make

a complete sentence.

How many subjects are dear?

The pencil fell to the floor, the pencils fell to

the floor even if there was more than one pencil,

this is still one subject.

Now let's look at this one, the paper and the

pencils fell to the floor.

Is there still just one subject As we can see

there are no two subjects paper and pencils.

Two or more subjects joined together with a conjunction is

called a compound subject.

So you have a diagram here showing you the subjects

and the conjunction, the location of each subject and how

the conjunction functions to hold them together, the two subjects

function as one and share the same verb coordinating conjunctions,

conjunctions are like glue.

They join words, phrases and independent clauses.

So if you think of the word fun boys, you

will always get all your coordinating conjunctions correct.

four and nor but or yet.

And so that's all you have to think about fun

boys, here is another sentence with two subjects, Her fingers

and toes felt like icicles so we do know we

have a compound subject and we can see the two

parts fingers toast.

Those two words are joined by the conjunction.

And does this next sentence have a compound subject, thursday

or friday will be the meeting.

So we do know that it does have a compound

subject made up of the two parts thursday friday joined

by the conjunction or All right, let's take it a

bit further.

So first decide if the sentence has a compound subject.

A mother tiger and her cubs snooze together in their

dead. Now remember how the simple subject is the subjects

mean? No.

Is this sentence about anything else?

We do know it's about tiger and cubs in a

compound subject.

There is a simple subject in each part.

So in the first part a mother tiger.

Tiger is a simple subject.

Her cubs, cubs is the simple subject.

Mhm. Does this next sentence have a compound subject?

Yes, it does.

But do you notice anything different?

Sunday cousin, Jeb and my two puppies all squeezed into

the back seat.

So it doesn't have one.

So it's not one not to but three subjects joined

with a coordinating conjunction and sharing the same for let's

try practicing what we've learned so far about compound subjects.

So you're going to hold up a hand for each

subject in the sentence.

So if you have a compound subject, you need both

your hands.

Okay, we're not going to do three because we do

not have three hands.

So we'll stop at two subjects in a compound subject.

So we're going to give this attract my grandpa and

his friend visited the war museum.

No, show me your hands.

So we should have both hands up grandpa friend and

we do have the conjunction and that joins both of

these parts together.

So if we look at this again, my grandpa and

his friend visited the war museum, we're adding another step

here. After your hands are up for the subjects, we're

going to find the simple subject and for each simple

subject then you're going to close your hand.

So my grandpa and his friend visited the war museum.

So we have grandpa friend and we have to simple

subjects, grandpa friend.

All right, so I hope you have a little bit

of fun with this.

It's time to focus on the predicated side of sentences.

Now here's a sentence joseph hunted for treasure.

What they joseph do, hunting the joseph, Do anything else.

No, he didn't.

So this sentence has one credit card Hong kong.

Predicated Are two or more pretty kids joined by a

conjunction. Again you have a diagram.

So you can see each part and you can see

the rule of the conjunction and how it holds it

together. Acts like a little bit of blue right there

in the sentence.

Yeah. So we can have more than two predicates to

form your compound predicates.

And as we can see from the diagram here, compound

predicates usually share the same subject.

Now if we look at the sentence joseph hunted for

treasure and founded easier still just one pretty key.

This sentence has to predicates joined by a conjunction, joseph

hunted for treasure and founded so you're compound pretty key

is made up afterward or the verb hunted and found

and your conjunction is the word.

And Let's look at another sentence with two pretty kids.

Her glasses fell to the floor but did not break.

We have a compound predicate fell and we have did

break not is an adverb therefore is not part of

a verb phrase so your verb phrase would just be

dead. Break.

And we do have a conjunction but here joining these

two parts and now we're going to take this a

little further.

First decide if the sentence has a compound pretty key.

Our family plays games and watches movies together.

Now remember how the simple predicate is the verb in

a compound predicate.

There is a simple predicated in each part.

So we have please and we have watches that form

the compound predicate in this sentence here.

Now let's look at one more really closely and see

if we can see what's different.

The king took the roast turkey lake bit off a

huge chunk and shoot it loudly.

So we have not one, Not two but three predicates

all sharing the same subject so the king took bit

and chewed.

Let's try practicing what we've learned so far about compound

predicates. So you're going to stand on one ft for

each. Predicated in the sentence I give you I can't

stand or you won't be able to see my head

nor will you be able to see my legs.

All right.

So I'm going to do this from my position where

I am.

But I'm asking you all to stand and to follow

along. All right.

So if it's a compound predicate, then you're going to

stand on both legs.

If it's one, you're going to one predicate your way

to stand on.

Why? The whip whistled through the air and cracked against

the fence.

You got to choose your feet.

How many are we using?

Both of them whistle crap.

Okay. We're going to add a step here.

So after you're standing on a correct number of feet,

you're going to try finding the simple predicates and when

you find a simple predicate, you're going to stomp that

foot. All right.

So we're standing on both because it's whistled and crack.

So we're going to some stump the football team practice

until dark and then drunk a lot of water.

So you should be standing on boat and then you're

going to some stump because we do have a compound

predicate and we do have to simple predicate verbs that

make that practice drunk.

All right.

So you know what's coming up.

Now don't you are you up for a challenge?

You guessed it?

We're going to combine the subject hunting with the predicate

feet. Think so this is how it's going to work.

You're going to hold up a hand for each subject

and stand on a foot for each predicate.

All right, So and then you're going to be grabbing

for simple subject and stamping for simple predicate.

The old man picked apples from the tree and place

them in his basket.

You remember a hand for each subject?

So we have man and then we're going to be

grabbing because we have one subject here.

One simple subject picks.

You should be standing on both feet.

You have pick place and you should have been stumping

both feet as well too.

For the compound predicate in this sentence.

Mm Yeah, here is another sentence.

The archaeologist and her team discovered a new dinosaur fossil.

So we have archaeologists team and then we're going to

be closing and then you should be on one ft

and stump for that discovered.

All right.

Not the very best and a bit clumsy.

But you get the idea of what you're supposed to

be doing.

Three blind mice and one rude rat chase the poor

kitty and eat all his food.

Remember a hand for each subject.

So mice.

Rat grab grab Cheese.

eight. So you should have been sending and then stump

stump for cheese and eat.

So to review this concept, we know that a compound

subject is two or more subjects, joined by a coordinating

conjunction, with all parts sharing the same verb verbs in

some cases, and a compound predicate is two or more

verbs, joined by a coordinating conjunction with all the parts

sharing the same subject or subjects, and with that we

end our lesson for today.
