 Today, we will look at the differences between a phrase and a sentence. Look at the slideshow below to learn more about subjects, predicates, phrases, and sentences. Then, practice identifying if groups of words are phrases or sentences.
|
 |
Subject
A subject is the person, place, or thing the sentence is about.
Predicate
A predicate tells us what the subject of the sentence is or does.
Phrases
Words that do not make up a complete thought are phrases. They are not sentences. They do not have a subject, a predicate, or both.
Phrase Types
Phrases are named based on their part of speech.
| a ball |
noun - noun phrase |
subject |
| rolls away |
verb - verb phrase |
predicate |
Sentence
Words that create a complete thought form a sentence. A sentence contains both a subject and a predicate.
| The boy hit the baseball. |
| The boy |
hit the baseball |
| noun phrase |
verb phrase |
| subject |
predicate |
Implied Sentences
Command sentences assume you know that the word you is included. These are complete sentences even though the you is not seen in the sentence. You is the subject of a command sentence.
Put the crayons away.
