Simple/Compound Sentences

Make sure you have the notes from last week on clauses, phrases, and types of sentences (simple/compound sentences). Today in the computer lab (if you were absent or did not finish) we went to the following website and completed the 14 questions on sentences, subject/predicate.
*Remember- compound means "more than one"- so...a compound subject has more than one subject.
PREDICATE refers to the verb...so...a COMPOUND PREDICATE means that there is more than one verb in the sentence.
*Review F.A.N.B.O.Y.S. for your coordinating conjunctions. These are your clues to many of the compound sentences. Also, remember that a simple sentence will have NO DEPENDENT CLAUSES (SUBORDINATE)...only independent clauses.

When you finish the following link you may go to Odyssey and complete the folders there:
