Important to Know:
• We eliminate prepositional phrases because they will NOT contain the subject, verb, direct object, indirect object, predicate noun, nor predicate adjective.
• Sentences do NOT have to have prepositional phrases. Indirect objects are rare.
• Remember: The subject of ALL imperative sentences (commands) is the “understood you.” Example: Complete the assignment. (You!)
Parts of Speech Labeling
• We will label each part of speech.
• Cross out prepositional phrases.
• Underline subject once.
• Underline verb twice
• Identify direct object with DO
• Indentify indirect object with IO
• Predicate Nouns (PN) Predicate Adjectives (PA)
