Grammar Guru:  Compound Predicates

10/16/2013

25 Comments

 
It was great to work with such engaged learners in class last week!  If you remember, we talked about ways we can improve our writing by improving our sentences.  One way to improve sentences is to combine them.  We practiced identifying subjects and predicates.  We learned that when two sentences have the same subject and different predicates, we can combine them into one, more powerful sentence if we use a conjunction or joining word.  This kind of sentence is called a COMPOUND PREDICATE.
  For example, the sentences below have the same subject (Mrs. Bockius) and two different predicates:
                  Mrs. Bockius is creative.  Mrs. Bockius makes us laugh.  
  We can combine them:
                  Mrs. Bockius is creative and makes us laugh.

Post your own wonderful compound predicate sentences in the comments section.   If you are feeling particularly brave, try a COMPOUND SUBJECT sentence of your own.  These sentences combine multiple subjects that share the same predicate.
   For example, 
                  The girls are super good students!  The boys are super good students! 
   COMPOUND SUBJECT:
                   The girls and the boys are super good students!

Have fun!
