Subjects & Predicates: Extra Credit

The subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence is about. It is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described in the sentence.

The complete subject of the sentence is "OLQM's students". This is because the subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and in this case, it is referring to the students of OLQM (Our Lady Queen of Martyrs). The rest of the sentence provides additional information about what the students have done.

The sentence "The cold winter months." is a sentence fragment because it lacks a subject and a verb. It is missing a complete thought or action.

The compound sentence in the given options is "Joe asked Diane to the dance, and David asked Melissa." It is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses (Joe asked Diane to the dance and David asked Melissa) connected by the coordinating conjunction "and."

The given sentence "I hope we will have both a drama club and a step team this year" is a declarative sentence. It is a statement that expresses a hope or desire for something to happen.

The predicate of a sentence tells what the subject does or has in a sentence. This means that the predicate provides information about the actions or qualities of the subject. It describes what the subject is doing or what it possesses. In other words, the predicate completes the meaning of the sentence by providing details about the subject's actions or attributes.

The complete sentence is "I can't." It is a complete sentence because it contains a subject (I) and a verb (can't), expressing a complete thought.

The simple subject in the sentence "Venice's gorgeous scenery is breathtaking" is "scenery". This is because the subject of a sentence is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb or is described by the verb. In this case, "scenery" is the noun that is being described by the verb "is breathtaking".

The run-on sentence in the given options is "I enjoy dancing to techno but I like dancing to rap the most." A run-on sentence is a sentence that contains two or more independent clauses without proper punctuation or conjunctions to separate them. In this case, the sentence has two independent clauses, "I enjoy dancing to techno" and "I like dancing to rap the most," joined together without a coordinating conjunction or proper punctuation.

The simple predicate in the sentence "Venice's gorgeous scenery is breathtaking" is "is." The simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that expresses the action or state of being in a sentence. In this case, "is" is the verb that connects the subject "Venice's gorgeous scenery" to the complement "breathtaking," indicating the state of being.
