GRAMMAR RULE
1. A noun and a verb must be present in a full sentence.
Example: The bird flew.
2. A whole sentence must have a subject and a predicate.
Example: The angry bird flew quickly across the sky.
3. The imperative sentence is the unique exception to the preceding rule.
Example: Go away!
4. Adjectives can appear before or after the noun they explain, if separated by a verb.
Example: The angry bird flew.
The bird is angry.
5. A compound subject is one that combines two or more simple concepts.
Example: The bird and the plane flew.
6. A compound predicate is one that combines two or more logics.
Example: The bird flew and sang.
7. A compound sentence has many subjects or predicates.
Example: The bird sang and the plane flew.
8. An independent clause, like a full sentence, consists of a subject and a predicate.
Example: The plane flew.
9. Without additional words, a dependent clause cannot make a full sentence.
Example: The plane flew when the bird sang.
10. The noun being acted on by the verb is the direct object.
Example: The bird ate seeds.
11. The noun that gets the direct object is known as the indirect object.
Example: The bird gave the seeds to me.
12. When written in passive voice, the verb's object becomes the sentence's subject.
Example: The bird ate seeds.
-->The seeds were eaten by the birds.
13. Conjugates of the verb "to be" are required for passive voice.
Example: The seeds are being eaten by the bird.
14. Passive voice sentences might omit the subject of the action verb.
Example: The seeds were eaten.
15. A prepositional phrase corrects the subject of the active verb in passive voice.
Example: The bird ate seeds after lunchtime.
16. Commas are sometimes used to separate prepositional phrases.
Example: The bird which belonged to my mother, ate seeds.
17. Adverbs work similarly to prepositions.
Example: The bird ate seeds quickly.
18. A subject complement describes the sentence's subject.
Example: The bird is green.
