Document Summary
Chapter 10 sentence essentials: grammatical groundwork 308. There is a reference section on verb tenses on the inside cover of writing by choice. There are eight major parts of speech: the verb, the noun, the pronoun, the adjective, the adverb, the preposition, the conjunction, and the interjection. For a complete overview of each of the parts of speech, visit the university of ottawa writing centre page. A complete sentence must have three components: subject, verb, and a complete thought. Traditionally, a sentence is said to be comprised of a subject (what or whom the sentence is about) and a predicate (the part of the sentence that tells us what the subject is or does). The lion roared: he writes well. The girl arrived late in the blue dress. Subjects and verbs are the basic building blocks of sentences in english: who or what the sentence speaks about is the subject, what the sentence says about the subject is the verb.
