Here are the sentences with the correct parts marked according to the directions:
Directions Recap:
*
Circle the verb (simple predicate).
* <u>Underline once</u> the complete subject.
* <u><u>Underline twice</u></u> the complete predicate.
*(Note: Since I cannot draw circles or double underlines here, I will use
bold for the verb/circled part, standard underline for the complete subject, and italics + underline for the complete predicate to help you see the difference.)*
1. <u>Kelly and her friends</u>
<u><i>want to start a band.</i></u>
2. <u>Kelly</u>
<u><i>plays guitar and piano.</i></u>
3. <u>Vikki, Kelly's friend,</u>
<u><i>beats on the drums.</i></u>
4. <u>Viktor from down the street</u>
<u><i>asks to join the band.</i></u>
5. <u>Kelly and Vikki</u>
<u><i>let him audition.</i></u>
6. <u>Viktor, a lifelong churchgoer,</u>
<u><i>sings like an angel for the girls.</i></u>
7. <u>Both Kelly and Vikki</u>
<u><i>agree.</i></u>
8. <u>After that performance, Viktor</u>
<u><i>joins Vikki and Kelly in the band.</i></u>
*(Note: "After that performance" is an introductory phrase describing when it happened, so it is part of the complete predicate.)*
9. <u>Early in the morning, the band</u>
<u><i>practiced in Viktor's garage.</i></u>
*(Note: Similar to #8, "Early in the morning" tells us when, so it belongs to the predicate side.)*
10. <u>One day Kelly, Vikki, and Viktor</u>
<u><i>perform for their school in the gym.</i></u>
*(Note: "One day" tells us when, so it is part of the complete predicate.)*
