Does a compound sentence have one subject or two verbs True or False?
No. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses (subject + verb units) usually joined by a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS).
Is it true with compound sentences one diagrammed on its own base line and the other compound sentence is placed on the dotted line that connects the verb?
Yes, in traditional diagramming of compound sentences, the main clauses are typically shown on their own baseline. The conjunction connecting the two clauses is placed on a dotted line that connects the verbs of each clause, illustrating the relationship between them. This visual representation helps clarify the structure and function of the compound sentence.
Can Sentences be classified by function pattern and structure True or False?
True. Sentences can be classified based on their function, such as declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory, as well as their structure, which includes simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. This classification helps in understanding how sentences convey meaning and how they are constructed grammatically.
Is it true that with compound sentences only one of the independent clauses is placed on its own base line?
No, that is not true. In compound sentences, two or more independent clauses are placed on separate base lines. Each independent clause is typically joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon.
A compound subject is one that contains two or more simple subjects?
Yes, a compound subject consists of usually two simple subjects connected by "and".
What statement about sentence structure is true?
A statement about sentence structure that is true is that sentences typically consist of a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, while the predicate contains the verb and provides information about the subject.
What is true about complex sentences?
Complex Sentences Are Concise
Is it true that synonyms can serve as nouns verbs adverbs and adjectives?
true
What is true of all predicates?
All predicates are statements that assert something about a subject, typically comprising a verb and any objects or modifiers. They can be classified into various types, such as simple, compound, or complex predicates, depending on their structure. Predicates play a crucial role in forming complete sentences, conveying actions, states, or conditions related to the subject. Additionally, they can vary in specificity and can be true or false, depending on the context.
Is it true that no more than two verbs can be used in the same sentence?
No, it is not true that no more than two verbs can be used in the same sentence. A sentence can contain multiple verbs, especially in complex sentence structures or when expressing different actions or thoughts.
Is the word I'll a verb?
I'll isn't a true word, it is a contraction of "I will" or "I shall". Will and shall are verbs. I is a pronoun and would be the subject of the sentence or phrase in which the abbreviation occurs.
Does the sentence The nurse felt your pulse have a subject complement?
No. The verb "feel" may be a linking word in some cases, but it is not one in this sentence. True linking verbs are forms of the following verbs: be, seem, and become. Other verbs, like feel, may be linking verbs if they are functionally equivalent to the verb to be. Example: "John feels embarrassed" is the same as "John is embarrassed" and in this case "embarrassed" would be the subject complement. In the above question, however, "The nurse felt your pulse" is not functionally equivalent to "The nurse is your pulse" or "The nurse seems your pulse" and so there is no subject complement in this sentence.
