Activity Title: Basic Sentence Elements
Learning Target: Distinguish sentence elements
Value Concept: Responsibility
Reference: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/grammar/sentencestructure, Retrieved January 13,
2018
Concept Digest:
 In applying the basic rules of sentence construction, it is important to distinguish and recognize the different
elements of a sentence.
(1) Sentence – group of words that has a subject, a predicate, and a complete thought.
(2) Subject – a person, place, animal, thing, idea, or event that performs an action. It can be easily determined in
a sentence by asking the question “who?” or “what?”
Example: Mario is a servant of God.
(3) Object - a person, place, animal, thing, idea, or event that receives the action. It can be easily determined in a
sentence by asking the question “the subject did what?” or “to/for whom?”
Example: Danny bakes muffins.
(4) Verb – words that expresses the action that the subject does. It can be identified by asking “what was the
action?” or “what happened?”
Hailey prayed for the speedy recovery of her sick mother.
(5) Phrase – a group of words that has neither subject nor verb. They sometimes function as the predicate of the
sentence.
(6) Prepositional Phrase – a phrase that begins with a preposition.
(7) Predicate – part of a sentence that tells something about the subject.
(8) Clause – any group of words that have both subject and predicate. It can be dependent or independent.
(a) Independent Clause: A clause that can stand alone as a sentence. It has a subject, a predicate, and a
complete idea.
(b) Dependent Clause: Not a complete sentence. It must be attached to another clause to become complete.

Read the following statements. Write A if you agree with the statement and D if you disagrees.
Write your answer before the number.

________ 1. All groups of words are sentences.
