4. Starter #2
Can you recall what we learned yesterday?
* What is an “exclamatory sentence”?
* What is an “imperative sentence”?
Today we are going to learn about compound subjects and compound predicates.
When you see the term “compound subject,” does it remind you
of another phrase, one you learned in grade school?
Based on the answer you just gave, can you guess what a compound subject might be?

5. If a compound word is two words put together to make one word, what do you think a compound subject might be?
Two subjects in the same sentence—they share the same predicate.
So, what is a compound predicate?
Two predicates that share the same subject
