in classifying a sentences u underline the _______ parts once and the ________ parts twice? can someone please help my daughter
subject . . . predicate
In sentence classification, you underline the subject once and the predicate twice.
To help your daughter understand this better, you can explain the following:
1. Subject: The subject is the main noun or pronoun in a sentence. It tells us who or what the sentence is about. To find the subject, ask the question "Who or what is doing the action?" For example, in the sentence "The dog is barking," the subject is "dog."
2. Predicate: The predicate is the part of the sentence that includes the verb and gives information about the subject. To find the predicate, ask the question "What is the subject doing?" For example, in the previous sentence, "is barking" is the predicate.
When analyzing a sentence, underline the subject once to identify it and underline the predicate twice to distinguish it from the subject. This helps in understanding the structure and components of the sentence. Encourage your daughter to practice this method with different sentences to improve her understanding of sentence classification.
