when they go to school all year long.

Does that mean pupils won’t get a vacation? No. It means that
pupils will get many short breaks instead of just a long one.

What do pupils say about a year-round school?

It’s good!
- I can remember more of what I learned.
- I like having more short breaks.

It’s bad!

What is It

Think!
A simple sentence is composed of one subject and a simple
predicate.
If a sentence has only one subject, it is called a simple
subject. The simple subject of a sentence is the main word in the
complete subject. It is always noun or pronoun.
If a sentence has only one predicate, it is called a simple
predicate. The simple predicate is the complete verb within the
complete predicate.

The left column contains the complete subject for each sentence.
The right column contains the complete predicates. Put the two
columns together and you have a simple sentence.

Complete Subject Complete Predicate

A Legend of the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars

Long, long ago, Sun and Water lived on earth. They were good friends.
Sun often went to the house of Water, but Water never visited Sun. Moon, the
wife of Sun wondered about this and asked Sun to invite Water to their house
without fail.

WATER: Impossible! I have a lot of relatives. We’re so close that they

will insist on coming with me. We would drive you out of
your house or some of them would break your things. No,
we can’t visit you.

SUN: Nonsense! I have a big house. Big enough for all of you.

Finally, because of sun’s insistence, Water agreed to go to Sun’s house.

Water kept flowing into the house until Sun and Moon and their children, the
stars, had to climb to their roof to keep dry. Still, plenty of water kept coming. It
reached the very top of the roof and Sun, Moon and the stars had no place to
go except up to the sky.

And up to this very day, there they have lived high above the water.

What is It

Think!

A compound sentence consists of two simple sentences. The

conjunctions and, but, or, nor, yet are used to connect the simple
sentences. These simple sentences are also called independent
clauses.
A comma (,) is sometimes used before the conjunction to
separate the two clauses.

and - used to connect similar ideas

• His favorite snacks are cakes and biscuits.
or - used to show choices.
• Would you like cake or biscuits with your coffee?
but - used to show contrast/opposite ideas.
• I eat cake, but I never eat biscuits.
nor - used for two non-contrasting grammatically negative items
• He doesn’t eat cake, nor does he eat biscuits.
yet - contrast, despite something
• He’s overweight and feels terrible, yet he continues to
eat lots of cakes and biscuits.
