Let's solve this
"Subject and Predicate" worksheet step by step.
---
🔍 Understanding the Task:
We are given:
- A list of
subjects (who or what the sentence is about)
- A list of
predicates (what the subject is or does)
Our job is to:
1.
Draw lines to match each
subject with the correct
predicate to make a complete, logical sentence.
2. Then,
write the new sentences in the blank lines below.

✔ Step 1: Match Subjects with Predicates
Let’s look at each subject and find the best predicate that makes sense:
#### 1.
The old goat
→ "is learning to drive."
✔ This sounds funny but possible! It's a playful sentence. The goat is doing something unusual — learning to drive.
✔️ Match:
The old goat → is learning to drive.
#### 2.
The small boy
→ "loves taking walks."
✔ A small boy enjoying walks is very logical.
✔️ Match:
The small boy → loves taking walks.
#### 3.
The teenage girl
→ "can swim quickly."
✔ Teenage girls can be strong swimmers — this fits well.
✔️ Match:
The teenage girl → can swim quickly.
#### 4.
The brown puppy
→ "likes to eat trash."
✔ Puppies often eat things they shouldn’t — eating trash is typical for puppies.
✔️ Match:
The brown puppy → likes to eat trash.
---
✔ Step 2: Write the Sentences
Now, write the full sentences based on the matches:
1.
The old goat is learning to drive.
2.
The small boy loves taking walks.
3.
The teenage girl can swim quickly.
4.
The brown puppy likes to eat trash.
> Note: The worksheet only has
two blank lines, but there are four sentences. Since it says “Write the new sentences” and gives two lines, it might expect just
two examples — but likely, the intention is to write
all four. However, since only two lines are provided, we’ll assume the task wants
two completed sentences written.
But to be safe and thorough, here’s how you would fill it in:
---
✔ Final Answer (as per worksheet format):
1. The old goat is learning to drive.
2. The small boy loves taking walks.
*(You could also choose any two of the four, but these are the most natural pairings.)*
---
📝 Explanation:
-
Subject: Tells us *who* or *what* the sentence is about.
Example: "The old goat" → the main character.
-
Predicate: Tells us *what the subject is or does*.
Example: "is learning to drive" → action the goat is doing.
Matching them correctly creates a complete thought (a sentence).

💡 Tip:
Even if some combinations sound silly (like a goat driving), they’re acceptable in creative writing — especially for young learners!
---
✔ Final Answer Written:
1. The old goat is learning to drive.
2. The small boy loves taking walks.
*(Or any two of the four matched pairs.)*
