Comic Panel 1
The Syntax League
The syntax league works together, just like sentences and words.
A sentence needs a subject and a predicate to work cohesively together.
Comic Panel 2
The Syntax league is always ready to explain and ensure that every sentence is correct when words are put together and a sentence is formed. Let's ask Noun and Pronoun what a Subject is?
A subject needs a noun. A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.
Speech Bubble
Noun
Pronoun
Pronouns can also stand-in for proper nouns such as he, she, and them.

Comic Panel 1
Superhero Verb do you know what a predicate is?
Verb
There are auxiliary and helping verbs. Verbs give more information about the main verb words like be, can, and have provided more details about the main verb. 
Speech Bubble
There are also linking verbs that describe the state of being and refer back to the subject like acting, doing, or staying. 
Speech Bubble
Link
Adverbs modify or tells more about the verb (ie.. ends in ly)
A predicate needs a verb; it is the subject's action or performance. However, there is more than one type of verb.  
Speech Bubble
Comic Panel 1
The determiner in a sentence is the word that signals a noun is coming words like the, an, this, and that signal a noun should follow. 
Speech Bubble
I want to remind everyone that combining words, determiners, and prepositions work well with nouns when creating a sentence.  
Speech Bubble
In addition, a Preposition describes a noun to another word.
Speech Bubble
 Adjective words like big, gray, and stinky describe the word properties and can also be placed in front of a word.
