D you know what an understood subject is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is where a sentence does not explicitly give a subject. The understood subject is usually "you," used in commands. So to find it, we simple find the sentence without any explicit subject. Try finding the subject for each option and listing them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its a or b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite. Both of these have listed subjects. Try listing the subject of each option. For example, A's subject is "Your day skiing."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its either c or d right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the subject for option C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

before pouring?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the subject in this case is who is preforming the action. This sentence is a command, so who is performing the action?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i'm confus3d i don't g3t it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the option C's sentence is "Shake it well before pouring it into the glass." The ver is shake, but it never says what is shaking it. So what would the subject be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is a sentence fragment? A. Next week it is supposed to be sunny. B. Maybe Katie would like to go with us. C. Nothing left but to reschedule the ride. D. Let's call her; she's always ready.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For you first or second question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*your

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, C is correct for both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is a sentence fragment? A. T-shirts, shorts, a hat, and sandals that are very cool. B. Pack comfortable clothes when you go to the coast. C. It will be very hot and sticky in July and August; the humidity will be high. D. Be prepared with sun protection at all times.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. because its not a complete sentence
