DGP PAGE— Week of Sept. 30th All responses must be in color!

Name______________________________ Date____________ Period ______

Monday: Label each part of speech. Identify each word as noun (common, proper, possessive), pronoun (interrogative, posses-

sive, nominative, objective, demonstrative, indefinite), verb (helping, linking, action, tense) adverb, adjective, preposition, conjunction

(coordinating, subordinating, correlative), or interjection.

Tuesday: Separate the sentence into parts by dividing the complete subject from the complete predicate. Place a vertical line

in front of the verb. Underline the complete subject once. Underline the complete predicate twice. The predicate should begin with

a verb if the sentence is in the correct order. Now look for a prepositional phrase. If one is present, place parentheses around the

prepositional phrase and label its parts. A prepositional phrase must begin with a preposition and end with a noun or pronoun.

Read the prepositional phrase again. If the prepositional phrase answers the question “where?” then it is an adverbial prepositional

phrase. Label it accordingly. Now, go back and label the simple subject and simple predicate. The simple subject is the main word in

the subject. It has to be a noun or pronoun. Without this word, the sentence does not make sense. As for the simple predicate, it is

the verb only! (Identify it as transitive or intransitive.)

Wednesday: Identify each clause as independent or dependent. Place brackets around it if it is independent. This means

the group of words make sense and expresses a complete thought. Next, identify the sentence type as simple, compound, or com-

plex. Finally, label the sentence purpose as declarative, imperative, interrogative, or exclamatory. Use your notes in the WCB and

use your DGP packet/manual to guide you!
