Look at the top of page 13 of your textbook..let’s
analyze items a, b, c and d…
Abdullah worked for a big camera company for
years.
My friend in Boston.
He’s tired.
Teaches mathematics to students at a good college
in Massachusetts.
which ones are sentences?
Which are NOT sentences? How do you know??
Every sentence in English has a subject and a
verb.
e.g. He works.
They play.
subject verb
subject verb
A sentence may have only a subject and a verb,
but usually, there are other words in the
sentence.
e.g. - He works for an employment agency / at
the camera shop.
- They play basketball at the club every
Saturday.
The Subject

The subject is the person or thing the sentence
is 'about'. Often (but not always) it will be the
first part of the sentence. The subject will
usually be a noun or a noun phrase (a noun
and the words, such as adjectives, that
modify it) followed by a verb.
- He works for an employment agency / at the
camera shop.
- They play basketball at the club every
Saturday.
In commands, we do not say or write the
subject but the subject of the sentence will be
always understood as “YOU”
e.g. Answer the want ads. = “YOU” answer the
want ads.
 Subjects come before the verb and often come
at the beginning of the sentence:
e.g. Saeed told me it was a great job.

subject verb
Subjects can be one word or many words..
e.g. Saeed and Jack told me it was a great job.

subject
verb
They told me it was a great job.
subject verb

Subjects cannot be repeated…
We cannot say for example:
Saeed he told me it was a great job.
In this case, we will have a subject and a pronoun
referring to the same subject for one verb. This
is not correct.
This is different from saying for instance:
Saeed and Ahmed told me it was a great job.
In this case, we have two different people/doers
performing the same verb. This is OK…

Punctuation Rules:
The first letter of any sentence has to be
CAPITALIZED.
The sentence has to end with a full
stop/period {.}; a question mark {?}; or an
exclamation mark {!} in order to mark that the
sentence has finished.
Now it is time to go to page 14 to do exercise 2
with your teacher and friends..

Descriptive Adjectives
Examples of descriptive adjectives [in red]:
yellow banana, tall man, wide door, honest
woman, stormy sky
Descriptive Adjectives come after verb “to be”..
He is tall.
The banana is yellow.
Descriptive Adjectives
Descriptive Adjectives may come before the
noun they describe..In this case , we use the
articles a, an or the…
She is a smart girl.
He is an important writer.
The new teacher is in class.
A , an or the are not used
When we do not use nouns after the
adjective..e.g. Ali is smart.




A possessive adjective is usually used to
describe a noun, and it comes before it, like
other adjectives:
Possessive Adjectives: My, your, his, her, its,
our, their…
When we use a possessive adjective, we do not
use the articles a, an or the..
e. g. My car is bigger than her car.
Subject pronoun
Possessive adjective
I

You (sing. + plu.)
Your (sing. + plu.)
We
