Sections 3, HB, and 6 should make flashcards to study for the quiz
Today:
We discussed the following notes on finding subjects and verbs in unusual order. Most times, the subject is followed by a verb which describes the subject or tells what it does. In these sentence, the verb is before the subject, which can trip students up.
Lesson 7: Subjects in Unusual Order
In a question, the subject
usually comes
AFTER the verb or between parts of the verb phrase.
Is she ready? (Yes, she
is ready.)
Does the weather look good for the game?
(Yes,
the weather does look good for the game.)
To find the subject, turn the question into a statement.
Are
you staying home? (Yes, you are staying
home.)
The subject of
a command, or imperative sentence, is usually “you.”
(You) Meet us at the concession stand.
(You) Bring money for snacks.
To find the subject in a sentence with “here” or “there,”
look
for the verb and ask the question who or what.
Here
comes your all state championship team. (Your all state team comes here.)
There
goes our best rebounder. (Our best rebounder
goes
there.) (Go to page
20.)
