Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the English 7 Self-Learning Module on the Parts of the Sentence

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

RECAP

The job of grammar is to organize words into sentences, and there are
many ways to do that (or we could say, "words can be organized into
sentences in many different ways"). For this reason, describing how to put a
sentence together isn't as easy as explaining how to bake a cake or assemble
a model plane. There are no easy recipes, no step-by-step instructions. But
that doesn't mean that crafting an effective sentence depends on magic or
good luck.

Respond to the following questions.
1. What are the basic parts of a sentence?
2. Why does learning the Parts of a Sentence a helpful grammatical skill?

LESSON

In your writing, knowing that each sentence requires a subject and a verb
will help ensure that you write grammatically complete sentences.

A sentence is the largest unit of any language. In English, it begins

with a capital letter and ends with a full-stop, or a question mark, or an
exclamation mark. The sentence is generally defined as a word or a group of
words that expresses a thorough idea by giving a statement/order, or asking
a question, or exclaiming.

In general, the subject refers to the part of the sentence that tells who or
what the sentence is about. The subject is a noun, pronoun or noun phrase.
For example:

Kevin walked down the street.

They went to school.
The black cat is sleeping.

While "Kevin" and "They" are single-word subjects, "The black cat" is a noun
phrase that includes an adjective to provide additional information about
the subject.

There are a few different types of subjects. A simple subject is just one
word, without any modifiers, usually a noun or pronoun. A complete
subject is the simple subject plus all modifiers. A compound subject is
made up of more than one subject element.

For example:

Simple subject: Kat is a thin girl.

Complete subject: Jessie’s poem about his mother made the class cry.
Compound subject: Paolo and Timmy joined the soccer team at the same
time.

7
The predicate of a sentence includes the verb and everything that follows it.
This typically tells what the subject does with an action verb or describes
the subject using a linking verb and a complement.

Let's return to the first example sentence:

Kevin walked down the street.

In this sentence, "walked" is the action verb that tells the reader what Kevin
is doing, and "down the street" is an adverb phrase that modifies the verb by
describing where she walked. All of these words make up the complete
predicate of the sentence. The verb alone is the simple predicate.

As with subjects, it's also possible to have a compound predicate that

consists of two different actions. Take a look at the examples below to note
the differences:

Simple predicate: Harold cried.

Complete predicate: The mouse slowly ran towards the food.
Compound predicate: He laughed at the dog's tricks and decided to adopt
him.

Predicates can contain a good deal of information and may be quite long.
Predicates often have several parts in addition to the verb, including objects
and complements.

Object
Objects are noun phrases that are included in the predicate. They are
the things being acted upon by the verb.
For example:

Susan bought the gift.

In each of these sentences, there is a direct object in the predicate. It is the
thing being acted upon; for example, the gift is the thing given by Susan.

Complement
In predicates that use linking verbs rather than action verbs, items
following the verb are known as complements. Complements modify the
subject by describing it further.
For example:
I am a teacher.
The cat was the laziest creature.

8
In these cases, the words following the linking verb describe the subject,
whether they are nouns, noun phrases or adjectives.
Modifier
Modifiers are words or phrases that describe parts of the sentence by
adding additional information. Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns, while
adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It is possible for parts
of speech to do this work alone in the sentence in either the subject or the
predicate.
For example:
The blue boat sank.
The boat slowly sank.
In the first example, the adjective modifies the subject, but in the second
example, the adverb modifies the simple predicate.

WRAP-UP

A sentence is a group of words that are put together to mean

something. A sentence is the basic unit of language which expresses a
complete thought. It has two parts:
The subject is what the sentence is about. Also called the naming part
of the sentence, the subject answers the question, "Who or what?" when
asked in connection with a verb. Usually when the subject is at the
beginning of the sentence, it is a noun or pronoun.
Mary works. [Who or what works? Mary works.]
The predicate is the verb in the sentence that makes a statement
about the subject.
Mary works.
The subject and predicate make up the two basic structural parts of
any complete sentence. In addition, there are other elements, contained
within the subject or predicate, that add meaning or detail. These elements
include the direct object, indirect object, and subject complement. All of
these elements can be expanded and further combined into simple,
compound, complex, or compound/complex sentences.

exclamation, which starts with a capital letter
