Students continue to learn grammar basics and practice those skills during DEAR.
This week, students focused on subjects and predicates, regular and irregular verbs, subject-verb agreement, and collective nouns.

Students must understand that all complete sentences are comprised of these two parts: A) a subject, and B) a predicate.

Subjects of sentences can come in the form of any of the above: singular or plural nouns, compound or collective nouns. |

Likewise, the predicate of a sentence must contain a verb; the verb may be regular or irregular based on its conjugation into the past tense.

Finally, the subject and the verb must always agree! |
