The dog ran away from home. 2. Compound Sentence: Has two or more simple sentences joined together with a conjunction like FOR, AND, NOR, BUT, OR, YET (FANBOYS) Examples: John ate the pizza, but Eliza ate the hotdog.

Examples: Because my homework was difficult, I had to get help, and I stayed up late. Remember: Sentences must begin with a capital letter, end with the correct punctuation. The word in the challenge MUST be underlines and spelled correctly. Demands: There are three types of demands: 1. Type: Part of Speech: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, interjection, conjunction, preposition. 2. Function: Usage of the part of speech Examples: noun must be the predicate nominative, noun must be an object of the preposition, abstract noun. 3. General: This demand can be almost anything: must be a palindrome, must be an animal, etc. Part of Speech: Nouns Noun: a word that names a person, place or thing. Examples: pizza, cats, desk, flower, love Once a noun demand has been called there many other demands you can make for the function of the noun. o Nouns can be SINGULAR or PLURAL. Singular nouns name one thing, while plural nouns name more than one thing: House, houses; ox, oxen; kiss, kisses; goose, geese. *A good strategy is to call a plural noun, and then say it can’t have an s. Some plural nouns without an s are oxen, deer, mice, feet, geese, dice, hair, teeth o Nouns can be COLLECTIVE. Collective nouns name more than one person, place, or thing, even when even when they are singular Examples: army, class, herd, tribe, school, pride, army, flock, band, bevy, brood, cast, pack, yoke, hive o Nouns are often the SUBJECT (noun performing the action of a sentence; who or what the sentence is about) of the sentence: The balloon blew away. o Nouns can be the DIRECT OBJECT (noun receiving the action of a sentence): I dropped my money. o A PREDICATE NOUN comes after the verb and renames the subject: Benjamin Franklin was an inventor. o A noun can be the OBJECT OF THE PREPOSITION (the noun the preposition refers to): The ball is behind the bush. I talked over my brother. o A NOUN ADJUNCT is a noun that acts as an adjective: shoe store, paper route o A noun can be an APPOSITIVE (it renames or further describes another noun). It is always right next to the noun it is renaming. It is set off from the rest of the sentence by commas: Ms. Shipley, a teacher, made me study these words. o A noun can be CONCRETE (nouns you can know with your five senses): candy, thunder, desk, pizza o A noun can be ABSTRACT (nouns associated with emotions or ideas): love, pride, hope, anger o A noun can be POSSESSIVE (nouns that show ownership): The dog’s toy squeaked. Part of Speech: Pronouns Pronoun-Takes the place of one or more nouns: he, she, it, they, they, them, us, we, me When pronoun is called, any of the noun function demands can be called except noun adjunct. Pronouns can be PERSONAL (refer to specific people, places, things, or ideas): they, them Pronouns can be INDEFINITE (refer to unspecified people, places, things and ideas): another, anybody, anyone, both, each, either, many, most, none, some Prounouns can be POSSESSIVE (show ownership): The pizza is theirs. Parts of Speech: Verbs Verb-a word that expresses action: kick, jump, think, dive, stop or state of being: is, was, am, are, were, be or a linking verb (relates the subject to the predicate): seems, feels, tastes, appears Verbs can be SINGULAR: The bird flies. or PLURAL: The birds sing.
