Welcome to this worksheet on subjects and predicate. In the English language, every sentence is made up of two essential components: the subject and the predicate. These parts work together to convey a complete thought or idea. Understanding subjects and predicates is crucial for constructing grammatically correct and coherent sentences.
Subject:
The subject of a sentence is the main noun or pronoun that performs the action or is the focus of the sentence. It tells us who or what the sentence is about. The subject can be a single word or a group of words.
Example:
- The sun rises in the east.
- She is reading a book.
Predicate:
The predicate is the part of the sentence that contains the verb and provides information about the subject. It describes what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject. The predicate can also include other words that modify or complete the meaning of the verb.
Example:
- The sun rises in the east.
- She is reading a book.
