Parts of a Sentence-
There are two parts of a sentence. The subject and the predicate.
There is a simple subject, a simple predicate, subject, and predicate.
To find the predicate, look for what something/someone is doing in a sentence. To find the simple predicate look for the noun/pronoun in the full predicate.
To find the subject look for what the someone/something is that is doing the action. To find the simple subject look for the verb in the full subject.
For example: "Busy ants look for food." The subject is busy ants. The simple subject is ants. The predicate of the sentence is look for food. The simple predicate is look.
Sometimes the simple subject and the subject are the same. For example: "Samantha cleans her room." The subject is Samantha and so is the simple subject.
There are two types of clauses: independent and dependent. A dependent clause is a clause that can not stand alone, it is dependent on an independent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand by itself and still make sense. An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate.
To join two clauses together use FANBOYS. FANBOYS means: For And Nor But Or Yet So. This is how you would use FANBOYS: "John and I were walking; so we decided to take a break." When joining an independent with a dependent clause you must use a semicolon, your FANBOYS and then a comma.
