Practice worksheet for identifying and constructing compound subjects and predicates in sentences.

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Compound Subjects and Predicates" from a grammar workbook (likely for Grade 7). The worksheet includes exercises on identifying compound subjects and predicates, as well as completing sentences with compound subjects or predicates.

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the problems based on the text you’ve provided. Let's go through each section step by step.

---

Part A: Underline the noun that forms each compound subject. Then circle the word that connects the nouns.

1. Laura and Ramona are popular story characters.
- Compound subject: Laura and Ramona
- ✔ Underline: *Laura* and *Ramona*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

2. You, me, Ms. Hia, and Lara traveled here.
- This is a list of people — all are subjects.
- Compound subject: You, me, Ms. Hia, and Lara
- ✔ Underline: *You*, *me*, *Ms. Hia*, *Lara*
- ✔ Circle: *and* (connects the last two)

3. The dog and horse trotted along.
- ✔ Underline: *dog* and *horse*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

4. Ma and Pa drove the wagon all day.
- ✔ Underline: *Ma* and *Pa*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

5. Cows and trees grew on the prairie.
- ✔ Underline: *Cows* and *trees*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

Part B: Underline the verbs that form each compound predicate. Then circle the word that connects the verbs.

1. Laura learned and sang.
- ✔ Underline: *learned* and *sang*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

2. She read normal and surreal.
- Wait — this sentence seems awkward. "Read normal and surreal" isn’t grammatically correct unless it’s meant to be "read normal and surreal books." But assuming it’s meant to be a compound predicate:
- It could be interpreted as: She read and understood (but it says "normal and surreal") — likely a typo.
- However, if we take it literally: “She read normal and surreal” — this isn’t a proper compound predicate because “normal” and “surreal” are adjectives modifying something missing.
- Likely intended: She read and sang or She read and wrote.
- If it's She read normal and surreal, then it's not a compound predicate — perhaps it's meant to be She read and studied.
- Given the pattern, let's assume it's a typo and should be: She read and studied → then:
- ✔ Underline: *read* and *studied*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

⚠️ But as written: "She read normal and surreal" — this is not a valid compound predicate. So possibly a mistake in the worksheet.

3. Alfie and Perry laughed and shouted.
- ✔ Underline: *laughed* and *shouted*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

4. The dogs stopped and stared.
- ✔ Underline: *stopped* and *stared*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

5. The man snapped and stared.
- ✔ Underline: *snapped* and *stared*
- ✔ Circle: *and*

Part C: Complete sentences 1 with two nouns joined by and. Complete sentence 2 with two verbs joined by and.

1. The ________ and ________ sang all day.
- Example answer: The birds and the bees sang all day.
- Or: The children and the teacher sang all day.
- Any two nouns connected by *and* that make sense.

2. The dog ________ and ________ all the way home.
- Example: The dog ran and barked all the way home.
- Or: The dog wagged and jumped all the way home.
- Two verbs joined by *and* describing what the dog did.
