Parts of Speech
This is a word that describes an action or a state of being.
A verb
Every complete sentence must have these two basic parts: a subject and a _____.
Predicate
These marks are used around the exact words a character speaks in a story to show dialogue.
Quotation marks
Use this spelling of "to/two/too" when you mean the number 2.
Two
In a STAAR editing passage, if a sentence has no errors, you should choose this answer choice.
Make no change
These words describe a noun by telling "what kind," "which one," or "how many."
An adjective
This type of sentence contains only one complete thought.
A simple sentence
An independent clause
You should always capitalize these specific nouns, like the names of cities, people, and holidays.
Proper Nouns
This contraction stands for the words "it is."
It's
This is the best thing to do if a sentence is "wordy" or repeats the same idea twice.
Delete repeated words or combine the sentences
This type of word takes the place of a noun, such as he, she, it, or they.
A pronoun
This is the error you make when you put two complete sentences together without any punctuation.
A run-on
This punctuation mark is used to show ownership, such as in the phrase the dog's bone.
An apostrophe
Use this version of "Their/There/They're" to show that something belongs to a group of people.
Their
This transition word (conjunctive adverb) is best used to show a difference, a surprise, or a change in direction.
however
This part of speech describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb and often ends in "-ly."
An adverb
You create this type of sentence by joining two complete thoughts with a comma and a FANBOYS conjunction.
Compound Sentence
When writing a list of three or more items, you must use this punctuation mark to separate them.
A comma
You use "an" instead of "a" when the word following it starts with this type of letter.
A vowel
If a sentence starts with "Because I was hungry," it is a fragment unless you do this.
Make it complex by adding an independent clause after.
These words, like under, over, during, and between, show the relationship between a noun and another part of the sentence.
Prepositions
This is a "sentence " that is missing either a subject or a predicate, making it an incomplete thought.
Fragment
This punctuation mark is used before a conjunctive adverb (like however) when joining two independent clauses. Not a comma or period.
A semicolon
This is the correct way to make the word "class" plural.
Classes
When combining two sentences about the same subject, you should use this to avoid repeating the subject's name.
A pronoun after you've said their name once.
