PACE WORK Lesson 1 Form 8D 22/12/20

 Tuesday, the twenty-second of December

Тема: The Subject

 1.Presentation of new material

     T.: Today we are going to review the topic about a sentence and learn more about parts of the sentence.

     First of all, we need to review some concepts on the topic:

-          What is a sentence?

-          What parts of a sentence do you know?

          T.: Any complete sentence has two main parts, called the subject and the predicate. (card #1)

     The subject of a sentence is simply what or whom the sentence is about. It usually comes before the predicate. It has gender, number, and person. For example, consider this sentence:

 Samantha collects reptiles.

     The predicate is the portion of the sentence containing the verb. A predicate says something about the subject of the sentence. The predicate usually comes after the subject.

  2. Writing

     T.: Now, let’s do some tasks. (cards #2)

The first your task is to underline the subject noun and the predicate, then underline all other nouns twice. Each sentence has two nouns other than the subject noun.

1. The letter was read by the king of Israel.
2. Great sorrow filled his heart that day.
3. The king tore his clothes because of the letter.
4. A thought then came to the mind of the king.
5. His question concerned the king tearing his clothes.

The second task is to write a subject noun for each of these sentences:

-          ……….. came with his horses and chariots.

-          This mighty  ………. Waited at the door of the house.

-          The …….  Would then be gone.

-          Why couldn’t a ………….. wash in them and be clean?

Now, open your copy books and write sentences using the words listed as the subject nouns: maid, king, clothes, horses, river, leprosy.

 3.Reading

     T.: We have just learnt some facts about the subject.

Read the sentences and name the subject noun of each sentence (card #3):

1. Was the army victorious?
2. This mighty man was a leper.
3. Is the disease catching?
4. A little maid was taken.
5. Someone told the king.
6. The young girl spoke of a prophet.

 Samantha collects reptiles.

     The predicate is the portion of the sentence containing the verb. A predicate says something about the subject of the sentence. The predicate usually comes after the subject.
