                       7.  Write complete, grammatically correct sentences.

               THE SENTENCE
                       A  sentence  is  a  group  of  words  containing  a  verb  and  its  subject  and
               expressing a completed thought.
                       A  sentence  always  begins  with  a  capital  letter  and  ends  with  a  mark  of
               punctuation.
                       In order to express a complete thought, every sentence must have two parts
               – the subject and the predicate.

                   A.  The Subject
                       The subject of a sentence is that part about which something is said. In the
               following sentences, the subjects are in heavy type.
                   1.  The eager quarterback shouted the signals.
                   2.  Ricky reminded me of the game tonight.
                   3.  An old brick building hung over the river‘s edge

               To find  the  subject  of  a  sentence,  ask  yourself  Who…?  or What…?  Suppose  you
               want  to  find  the  subject  of  this  sentence:  The  huge  plane  rolled  slowly  out  of  the
               hangar onto the runway. Ask yourself, What rolled? The answer is, The huge plane
               rolled. The plane is the subject of the sentence.

                   B.  The Predicate
                   The predicate of a sentence is that part which says something about the subject.
               In the following sentences, the predicates are in heavy type.
                   1.  The tulips bloomed early this year.
                   2.  Mr. McKay took a later train than usual.
                   3.  Summer vacation is always too short.
