Let’s Learn!

Sentence is the largest grammatical unit in the English.

-it refers to a group of words that begins with a capital letter and ends with any
of these three punctuation marks: the period or full stop, the exclamation mark and
the question mark.

A simple sentence is one which has one main or independent clause.

Examples: • This is my food.

• I love you so much.
• My cat was stolen.
• Philippines is large archipelago.
• The earnest worker was rewarded.

Two parts of a sentence:

A. Subject refers to the part of sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

Example: Johnny is taking down the post.

My son wants to see a real Gorilla.

B. Predicate tells what the subject does with an action verb or describes the subject
using a linking verb and a complement.

Example: Johnny is taking down the post.

My son wants to see a real Gorilla.

Clauses and phrases are the building blocks of sentences. Every sentence must
have at least one clause to be considered grammatically correct.

Example: 1. Last Friday night,

2. Mariam is the

M
 An independent clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a
predicate. It expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence. It can
also be joined to other dependent or independent clauses to make a more interesting
and complex sentence.

Examples: I enjoy sitting by the fireplace and reading.

Waiting to have my car's oil changed is boring.

She wants to travel the world and see wonderful sights.

Our planets revolve around the sun.

A dependent clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb but
(unlike an independent clause) cannot stand alone as a sentence. It's a clause that
implies that there is more to come and is incomplete.

A dependent clause does not have a complete thought though they have a subject and
predicate.

Examples: Although she is hungry …

Whoever is hungry …

Because I am feeling well

Phrase – words can be grouped together, but without a subject or a verb. A

phrase is a group of words related to the subject, predicate, or object. Phrases do not
contain a subject and a predicate, or we would call them clauses. Phrases provide
additional information about subjects, predicates, and / or objects, and understanding
how they work is helpful to building an analyzing sentence.

Example: 1. After working late into the night

2. on his desk.

A phrase does not carry any meaning of its own, due to the absence of subject and
verb, but it clarifies the context, of the sentence when added to a clause.

Examples: 1. You can eat your cake with a spoon or fork.

2. My dog enjoys being bathed but hates getting his nails trimmed.

3. Bill refuses to eat peas, nor will he touch carrots.

4. I hate to waste a drop of gas, for it is very expensive these days.

5. Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz, but it was hard
to concentrate because of the noise.
