Welcome

Colossians 4:2 – Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Prayer

This week we’ll be reviewing our sentence structure, purpose and pattern. We’ll also be reviewing verbs, this time focusing on verb anatomy.

Complex/Interrogative/S-Vt-DO-OCN(A)

From the ground, my sister called the skydiver a lunatic, even though he considered himself quite sane.

(Label the above sentence.)

The main thing that we need to remember about these complements is that they complete the grammatical construction of the clause. In other words, the DO and the OCN/OCA work together.

My sister didn’t call the skydiver, and she didn’t call the lunatic, but she called the skydiver a lunatic. Both are needed to complement each other.

In the next clause, he didn’t consider himself and he didn’t consider sane. He considered himself sane.

Also, the direct object becomes the OCA/OCN because of the action of the verb.

This week, we are going to focus on the interrogative purpose. Do you remember that there are three ways to take a declarative and change it to an interrogative? (Change above sentence.)

Change the end mark. Use an interrogative pronoun. Add a helping verb.

For the third time, Kim gave her sister the flu.

(Have students work through labeling the above sentence, just to keep them sharp.)

Part of Speech: Verbs

We are going to look at verb anatomy a bit today. This may seem like a meaningless exercise, but I guarantee that it is not. At some point you all will be learning a foreign language, if you haven’t already. Most people will say that they didn’t really understand English until they studied another language. Because they can speak English, they assume that they don’t need to know how it works. I disagree. It think that it is very important to know how our own language works. There are many reasons, but one big reason is so that you will have a leg-up when you do go to learn another language.

So, today, we will learn how to identify the five principal parts of a verb. This should be easy, because you’ve been studying this in Foundations. Can anyone name them? (Infinitive, Present, Past, Present Participle, Past Participle – write on board)

Let’s look at a few words and plug them in.

To play To cook To preach To walk

Play, plays cook, cooks preach, preaches walk, walks

Played cooked preached walked

Playing cooking preaching walking

Played cooked preached walked

Now, let’s work through chart O together.
