ELA /Grammar Review

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun to avoid repetition, such as 'he', 'she', 'it', 'they', 'us', and 'me'.

Verb tense indicates the time of an action or state of being, such as past, present, or future.

'I' is used as a subject of a verb, while 'me' is used as an object of a verb or preposition.

A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought.

Punctuation refers to the marks used in writing that help clarify meaning, such as periods, commas, and question marks.

The subject is the part of a sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

The object is the part of a sentence that receives the action of the verb.

A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction.

An independent clause is a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence because it expresses a complete thought.

A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and depends on an independent clause to provide meaning.
