Noun Clause/Complex/Interrogative/S-Vi/Review Tasks 1-6

Label the parts of this sentence:

HV     SP         Vt         Adj     DO     A     OCN     SC     SP     Vt         DO   OCA

Will     you     make     this     stem    a     flower     as     you     paint     it     red?

Welcome

Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Prayer

Let's start with a familiar exercise.

We are going to change these declarative sentences to imperative sentences after identifying the independent and subordinate clauses.

Nate will go to the store, since he has a car.

We finished early, since Rose and Jo arrived early. 

I will sit on the front porch, as the days grow warmer.

Now, we will do tasks 1-4 on the first sentence.

Noun Clauses

We've learned about Adverb Clauses that start with www.asia.wub and Adjective clauses that with who/which.  Now, we are going to learn about noun clauses.  They are called noun clauses because they are a clause which takes the place of a noun in the sentence.  

Noun Clause as Subject Noun

What you say reflects your heart.

Question Confirmation

    What reflects your heart? (What you say -- the whole clause is acting as the S)

    What is being said about "what you say"? (reflects -- V)

    What you say reflects what? (heart -- DO)

    Label the Verb Transitive (Vt)

    Are there any modifying words? yes -- Whose heart? (your -- PPA (possessive pronoun adjective)

Now we identify the parts of the noun clause.

What you say

    Who or what "say"? (you -- SP)

    What is being said about "you"? (say -- V)

    "You say" what or whom? (What -- DO)

    Label verb transitive (Vt)

See Essentials Guide for how to Diagram and for questions to identify following sentences, if needed. Use your judgment for how many of these sentences to QC and diagram.  Some you may simply choose to read or put on the board and have students identify the noun clauses, but not do the tasks.

Noun Clause as Predicate Nominative

The third house is where I live.

Question confirmation

Noun Clause as Direct Object

Do you see what I see?

Question confirmation

Noun Clause as Object of the Preposition

The crackers can be eaten by whoever is hungry.

Question confirmation

Noun Clause within another Noun Clause

Test to be done at home if desired

Dictate the following sentences, following the later instructions with each before dictating the next.

John ate.

Jesus loves me.

Jesus is holy.

Jesus is King.

I gave my daughter the old cell phone.

God called the light day.

God called the earth good.

Have your student:

Rewrite them as exclamatory, imperative and interrogative.

Label the parts of speech.

Diagram the sentence.

Rewrite sentences by structure (compound or complex).

Choose a sentence and have them complete a Quid et Quo.

Give your student a blank copy of all the mastery charts your child has learned thus far.

This will give you a good idea of where your child is compared to where he/she should be for the year he/she is in.  The administration of this test is entirely up to your judgment.  Only test your child on the areas that she has learned thus far.  Do not be discouraged if first or second year students cannot answer all the questions.  Remember, this is an evaluation, for your benefit.  This will help you to know the areas that may need to be worked on the rest of this year.   If you wish to, you may discuss the results of the test with your student, as appropriate, so that your student is clear on your goals for the next six weeks.

Essentials - Week 17 (5th Edition)

Week Seventeen

Complex/Exclamatory/S-Vt-DO-OCA  Adjectives  Tasks 1-6

Write a sentence with an objective complement noun.

Use one of these verbs:  Make, call, judge, choose, elect, nominate, name, consider, or paint.

Example:  Our country elected Trump President.

Welcome

Philippians 3:14 - “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

Prayer

Complex/Exclamatory/S-Vt-DO-OCA

This week, we will learn the LAST of our sentence patterns!  (YAY!)  It includes the Objective Complement Adjective, which is similar to the Objective Complement Noun.  We will also be review adjectives.

OCA

You will remember from when we learned about predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives that a predicate nominate renames the subject and a predicate adjective describes the subject.

Kroger is a store.  Kroger is crowded.

Objective Complement Noun and Objective Complement Adjective are similar to this.  The Objective Complement Noun renames the Direct Object:

We named our dog Charlotte.

The Objective Complement Adjective describes the Direct Object:

God called the earth good.

Same as last week, the DO is not complete in and of itself.  It requires the OCA to complete the thought.  God didn’t call the earth and he didn’t call the good; He called the earth good.  Both are necessary.

Selena considered herself American.

Again, Selena didn’t consider herself and she didn’t consider American.  She considered herself American.

Look at Chart 112: Complex (M) for examples.  Questions?

Adjectives

Aj Aj S Vt Aj DO P PPA OP AJ OCA, SC SP Vl PA
Old farmer John painted some parts of his barn bright purple, because he was color-blind!

Let’s see how many adjectives we can identify in this sentence.  While we find them, we’ll use or Q&Q to identify them.

Old:  descriptive, positive
farmer: descriptive, noun acting as adjective
some: limiting, indefinite pronoun acting as an adjective
his: possessive, possessive pronoun acting as an adjective
bright: descriptive, positive
purple: descriptive, positive
color blind: descriptive positive

Week Sixteen

Complex/Declarative/S-Vt-DO-OCN  Nouns and Pronouns  Tasks 1-6

Each student, label one word in this sentence.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the world a speech that praised freedom. (S-Vt-IO-DO/SP-Vt-DO)

Welcome

Genesis 1:1 – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Prayer

Complex/Declarative/S-Vt-DO-OCN

This week, we will be continuing to learn about complex structure and will be reviewing the declarative purpose.  We will also be adding a new sentence pattern.  It will include the objective complement noun.  This can be a little tricky, but we’ll work together on it until you understand it.

An objective complement noun follows the direct object and renames what the direct object has become as a result of the action of the verb.

S  Vt  DO  OCN
God called the light day.

S  Vt  DO  OCN
God called the dark night.

In these examples, the verb transfers action to the DO, but the thought is not yet complete. The OCN is necessary to complete the thought.

Also, the OCN renames the DO.  Light and day, dark and night, they mean the same in these sentences.

S  Vt  DO  OCN
We considered that car a lemon.

S  Vt  DO  OCN
The class elected Tom president.

Do you see here that the DO and the OCN are equal?  They mean the same thing.They are both nouns, but perform different jobs in the sentence.

Examples? (write out, but don't label)

Some words that we can use to make these sentences are:  Make, call, judge, choose, elect, nominate, paint.

Questions?

This will be easier to understand if you memorize your charts, specifically chart E.  It talks about the different jobs of nouns.  It will also make doing your Quid et Quo easier, too.

Tasks 1-6

The jury judged the defendent guilty, since he had a strong alibi.
