What is It

When we speak, we often disregard parts of our sentences. However,

when we write, our words have to deliver the whole message. So, when we

DO_Q1_English 7_ Module 7
organize our thoughts on paper, we are expected to express them completely.
Before we discuss all that can go into a complete sentence, we must review the
definition of a sentence.
A group of words that expresses a complete thought is a sentence. It is
composed of two parts: the subject that can either be a noun or a pronoun,
which is talked about in the sentence, and the predicate that can be a verb or a
verb phrase, which tells about the action or quality of the subject. It begins with a
capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark.
Examples:
Tall trees cover the forest.

Subject Predicate
Aeronautics is the art and science of flight through the air.
Subject Predicate
Do you know the different kinds of sentences according to their structures?
Read the short selection “Fun with Father” and from it, make a listing of all the
subject and predicate parts and analyze how they are combined together.

Fun with Father

An English teacher held a contest. She asked her students to describe
what they like best about their fathers. The winning entry read, “I have so much
fun with my father that I wish I had known him sooner.”
A comment like that would brighten the day of any father who loves his
family. Yet in many homes, the children never really get to know their dad
because he doesn’t take the time to be with them. In the morning, he is either too
hurried or too irritable. After work, he is so tired that he spends the evening
snoozing in front of the television. On Saturdays, he is doing household chores or
drinking with his friends. On Sundays, he is glued to the television watching
basketball or boxing. The weeks, months, and years quickly pass without father
ever really getting to know his children.
The wise father, however, provides occasions for just talking, laughing,
and having fun. I remember hearing my dad tells jokes and then laugh harder
than anyone else. I recall the times when he played basketball with me, took
meto fishing, or let me travel with him when he went out of town. I wish we could
have spent even more time together.

Take a look at the sentences below that are taken from the given article.
Their subjects are encircled and their predicates are underlined. Where there are
more than one subject and predicate, their connecting words or conjunctions are
enclosed in parentheses.

Based on the sample sentences above, we classify sentences into

simple,compound, complex and compound-complex.

1. A simple sentence has only one pair of subject-predicate but either

thesubject or the predicate can sometimes be compound.
Example:
Tina and Jessa have been good friends.
Try this!
Construct three simple sentences about annular eclipse.
2. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses joined by
acoordinate conjunction.
Example:

DO_Q1_English 7_ Module 7
 On Saturdays, Allan usually helps his father cook
specialdish for the family or he fixes all the cabinets in the kitchen.

Try combining the following pairs of sentences using the conjunction

shown in parentheses.

1. Animals’ tails are used for communication. They are also used
forlocomotion. (and)
2. Robots in most early works were dangerous. In Star Wars, C3PO
andR2D2 are friendly. (but)
3. The position in which an animal hold its tail may indicate
aggression.The position may also be an indicator of the animal’s social
rank. (or)

3. A complex sentence has two clauses, one of which is a subordinate

clause.A dependent clause cannot make sense by itself because it begins
with a subordinate conjunction.

Example:
When I was young, I used to play ball with my brother.

Choose the correct subordinating conjunction to form a complex sentence.

1. You should keep your tomatoes outside of the fridge, they
don’t go bad. (although, since, so that, after)
2. Exercise is good for you it firms your muscles.
(even though,so that, because, before)
3. It is not advisable to drive drinking alcohol.
(after, before, inorder that, even though)

4. A compound-complex sentence has three clauses, one of which is a

subordinate clause or a dependent clause that begins with a subordinate
conjunction.
Example:
We don’t really feel bad about this situation yet we just wish for

DO_Q1_English 7_ Module 7
 something that all of us may survive our own difficulties in life.

Try to combine the sentences to make one compound-complex sentence.

1. Emma teaches the kids who live in the neighborhood. They meet in
the evenings after she comes home from work.

2. We managed to finish the exercise on time and passed the exam.

However, it was very difficult.

3. The doctor wants to prescribe physical therapy, and he asks me to see

a specialist. He recommends Dr. Valdez.

It is important to observe that in independent clauses of compound

sentences coordinate conjunctions are used to connect words, phrases and
clauses of equal rank. Such conjunctions are: and, or, nor, but and yet.
Coordinate-correlative conjunctions like both...and, not only...but also,
either...or, neither...nor and whether...or are also present. For subordinate
clauses of complex sentences, they are introduced by subordinators or
subordinate conjunctions such as because, since, for, though, if, who,
whom, that, which, what, whoever, whichever, whatever, and whose.

In addition to classification by the number and types of clauses it

contains, a sentence may be classified by function as declarative,
interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory.

A declarative sentence states an idea and ends with a period.

Example:
The price of the shirt is five hundred pesos.
The sky is blue.

Now, try completing the sentences with your own word or words to
makethem declarative sentences.
1. going home tomorrow.
2. was a good movie to watch.
3. is pursuing a course in engineering.

DO_Q1_English 7_ Module 7
An interrogative sentence asks a question and ends with a question mark.
Example:
Where is the old town hall?
Are you afraid of sharks?

The interrogative sentence follows a definite pattern. Statements with is, are,
was,and were may be changed into questions by exchanging the positions
of the subject and the predicate.

Examples:
1. The boys were present.

Were the boys present?

2. Maria is a student.
Is Maria a student?

Statements indicating present time and using verbs other than (is and are) are
changed into questions by placing does (singular) or do (plural) as the first wordto
signal the question.

Examples:
1. Myrna works hard.

Does Myrna work hard?

2. The farmers plant corn.
Do the farmers plant corn?

Statements indicating past time and using verbs other than was and were
arechanged into questions by placing did at the beginning to signal the question.

Examples:
1. Gina went home.

Did Gina go home?

Try changing the following statements into questions:
1. Ernie eats the last doughnut.

DO_Q1_English 7_ Module 7
 2. Basketball is Mario’s favorite sport.
3. The dogs crossed the road.

An imperative sentence gives an order or a direction and ends with a period or

an exclamation mark.

Example:
Stop!
Wrap your gift carefully.
Take a look at the given groups of words. Can you arrange them to
formimperatives? Observe capitalization and punctuation.
1. chewing me gum give that
2. worry it about don’t
3. leave your car in don’t the belongings

An exclamatory sentence expresses strong or sudden emotion and ends

with an exclamation mark. The words what and how placed at the beginning of the
sentence are used to signal. What is used to refer to nouns and how is usedto refer
to adjectives and adverbs. To change a statement into an exclamatory sentence,
place the item after the verb at the beginning and precede it with what or how.

Example:
What a beautiful day it is!
Police, I have been robbed!
How tired I am!

Try to transform the statements into exclamatory sentences below:

Example:
a. She has a pretty dress.
b. What a pretty dress she has!
a. He is strong.
b. How strong he is!
1. Imelda is very intelligent.
2. His voice is pleasing.
3. She is extravagant.
