Complete Subject and Complete Predicate worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go through each sentence one by one.

The task says:
- If the underlined part is the complete subject, write “complete subject” in the answer space.
- If the underlined part is the complete predicate, write “complete predicate”.

Remember:
- The complete subject includes the noun (or pronoun) and all its modifiers — it tells us *who* or *what* the sentence is about.
- The complete predicate includes the verb and everything that follows — it tells us what the subject does or is like.
