Using the following predicates, build sentences having subjects, predicates, and object complements with or without modifiers.

—— climb ——; —— hunt ——; —— command ——; —— attacked ——; —— pursued ——; —— shall receive ——; —— have seen ——; —— love ——.

Change the following expressions into sentences by asserting the qualities here assumed. Use these verbs for predicates:

Is, were, appears, may be, became, was, have been, should have been, is becoming, are.

+Model+.—Heavy gold. Gold is heavy.

Green fields; sweet oranges; interesting story; brilliant sunrise; severe punishment; playful kittens; warm weather; pitiful sight; sour grapes; amusing anecdote.

Prefix to the following nouns several adjectives expressing qualities, and then make complete sentences by asserting the same qualities.

white " Chalk is white.
+Model+.—brittle + chalk. Chalk is brittle.
soft " Chalk is soft.

Gold, pears, pens, lead, water, moon, vase, rock, lakes, summer, ocean, valley.

Find your own material, and build two sentences having object complements, and two having attribute complements.
