The task in the image is to
match subjects and predicates to form complete sentences. The goal is to pair each subject (who or what the sentence is about) with its corresponding predicate (what the subject does or is).

🔹 Step 1: Understand Subject and Predicate
-
Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that performs the action.
-
Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells what the subject does.
For example:
-
Subject: "My friend and I"
-
Predicate: "went to Florida."
→ Complete sentence: "My friend and I went to Florida."

🔹 Step 2: Identify the Subjects and Predicates
We have:
####
✔ Subjects (Left side):
1. My friend and I
2. My Teacher
3. The boy and the girl
4. My aunt and uncle
####
✔ Predicates (Right side):
1. went to Florida.
2. ate all the cheese.
3. watched TV.
4. explained math.
---
🔹 Step 3: Match Them Correctly
Now, we match each subject with a predicate that makes sense grammatically and logically.
Let’s go through them:
1.
My friend and I →
went to Florida.
✔️ Logical and grammatically correct.
2.
My Teacher →
explained math.
✔️ Teachers explain math — makes sense.
3.
The boy and the girl →
watched TV.
✔️ Two people watching TV — fits.
4.
My aunt and uncle →
ate all the cheese.
✔️ Possible! They could eat cheese.

🔹 Final Answer: Fill in the Table
Here’s how you should fill the table:
|
Subject |
Predicate |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------|
| My friend and I | went to Florida. |
| My Teacher | explained math. |
| The boy and the girl | watched TV. |
| My aunt and uncle | ate all the cheese. |
---
✔ Explanation Summary
- Each sentence needs a subject (who?) and a predicate (what did they do?).
- We matched based on logical meaning and grammar.
- For example, “My teacher” wouldn’t typically “eat all the cheese,” but “my aunt and uncle” could — so we match accordingly.
This exercise helps build understanding of sentence structure by identifying and combining subjects and predicates correctly.
