Latin Word of the Day- aequālis (equal, even)

REVIEW: 

We took time to CLASSIFY a sentence. GOOD JOB STUDENTS! 

NEW GRAMMAR: Here are the new concepts we covered today. 

P.O.S. Linking Verbs Chart C 

A linking verb makes an assertion by joining two words. Hint: verb can be replaced by “=“

Linking verbs do not show action in a sentence. They only link information to help the reader understand more about the subject. Being familiar with this verb type is the key to identifying this pattern. Linking verbs and helping verbs must be memorized.

Kinds of Linking Verbs:

1.     “To Be” verbs: be, being, been, am, is, are, was, were

2.     Sense verbs: feel, sound, taste, look, smell

3.     Other: appear, become, grows, remain, seem, stay

“Feel, become, remain, taste, Seem, appear, Look, sound, stay, smell, grow, am, are, is, was, were, Be, being, been.” (Remember the song on CC connected!)

                    

PATTERN: Remember how I call the S-Vl-PN and the S-Vl-PA patterns TWINS? Well, today I was only to introduce the PN pattern, but I couldn't have just introduced one without the other, but we will focus on the PN today. J

S-Vl-PN

A linking verb will rename the subject with a predicate noun, making a sentence pattern like this: S-Vl-PN (Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Noun)

You are an Essentials Student.

S-Vl-PN: In a Subject—Verb linking—Predicate Nominative pattern, the linking verb renames (nomen, noun) the subject with a predicate nominative.

A predicate nominative: (this is a NOUN from the Noun Chart (aka SPIDO PONA) it is the “P”. A predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb and refers to the subject of the verb. NOUN!

S-Vl-PA

A linking verb will describe the subject with a predicate adjective, making a sentence pattern like this: S-Vl-PA (Subject-Linking Verb-Predicate Adjective)

CC West is AWESOME!

S-Vl-PA: In a Subject—Verb linking—Predicate Adjective pattern, linking verb describes thesubject with a predicate adjective.

A predicate adjective: follows a linking verb and describes the subject.
