Prompt
Now thatlyou have worked through a lot of material that includes these basic patterns, and you have compared
grammatically correct and incorrect sentences, write down what you think is a rule that could explain what makes a
sentence grammatically correct or not. For example, you might write something like: "verbs always match nouns in
number, and they usually come before the noun." In other words, make your best guess for the grammar rule that makes
sense out of the pattern(s) you see in the phrases you have been working with. Review if you need to, and you might
briefly check your hunches against the sentences you have been working with in this or previous modules. Keep in mind
that what you're after is your hunch, not a grammar rule from a text book. Now check your hunch with the explanation of
this principle in the following pattern

Writing a concise and grammatically correct sentence helps readers understand its meaning, whether you intend to inform or persuade. Proper grammar also adds credibility and authority to your words and ideas. Being able to identify the parts of speech will help you in the construction properly.

Write down the subject of the sentence. The subject could be a person or an object. For example, if you want to write a sentence about a television, the TV is your subject. The subject could also be a proper noun like "Henry" or a pronoun like "he".

Write the verb of the sentence. The verb is the action word. Indicate what is happening in the sentence. For example, if you want to write on a towel that fell off a hook, "fell" is the verb. In the sentence, "Henry thought about the dinner menu," the word "thought" is the verb.

Make your subjects and verbs agree with each other. This means that both parts of the sentence are plural or singular. For example, you could write: "Each of the colors used in the design." The subject is "each", which is singular, so it takes a singular verb, "is". By putting a verb in the plural, "colors" would have to be object, for example, "The colors used in the design complement perfectly".

Use the correct pronouns. A pronoun must agree with the noun in number. An example of an incorrect pronoun is: "The chef burned the dinner, but they were able to fix it." Spelled correctly, this sentence is: "The chef burned the dinner, but he was able to fix it."
