Sentence structure analysis worksheet showing components like subject, predicate, direct and indirect objects.

Let's solve this grammar exercise step by step. The task is to identify the subject and predicate in each sentence, and then label the specific parts of speech or sentence elements as indicated (adjectives, articles, direct objects, indirect objects).

Here are the sentences with analysis:

---

1. The dog runs.

- Subject: *The dog*
- Predicate: *runs*

Now, break down "The dog":
- Article: *The* (definite article)
- Noun (subject): *dog*
- Adjective: None here — "the" is an article, not an adjective.

But the line points to "Adjectives and Articles", so we label:
- Article: *The*
- Noun: *dog* (no adjectives)

✔ So:
Adjectives and Articles: *The* (article)

---

2. The handsome man cooks.

- Subject: *The handsome man*
- Predicate: *cooks*

Break down "The handsome man":
- Article: *The*
- Adjective: *handsome* (describes "man")
- Noun: *man*

The line points to "Direct Objects", but there is no direct object in this sentence because "cooks" is an intransitive verb (doesn't take a direct object).
So, no direct object exists.

✔ But since it asks for Direct Object, and there isn’t one, we leave it blank or write "none".

Wait — let’s check the diagram: It has a line pointing from “The handsome man cooks” to “Direct Objects”. That might be a mistake, or perhaps it's asking us to identify if there is one.

But clearly, there is no direct object.

So:
Direct Object: *None*

---

3. The teacher reads the book.

- Subject: *The teacher*
- Predicate: *reads the book*

Now, analyze:
- Direct Object: *the book* (what is being read)

Break down "the book":
- Article: *the*
- Noun: *book*

The line points to "Direct Objects", so we label:
- Direct Object: *the book*

✔ So:
Direct Object: *the book*

---

4. The students study math.

- Subject: *The students*
- Predicate: *study math*

- Direct Object: *math* (what they study)

No indirect object.

The line points to "Indirect Objects", but again, there is no indirect object.

✔ So:
Indirect Object: *None*

---

5. The teacher gave the book to me.

- Subject: *The teacher*
- Predicate: *gave the book to me*

This sentence has:
- Direct Object: *the book* (what was given)
- Indirect Object: *me* (to whom the book was given)

The verb "gave" is a ditransitive verb — takes both a direct and indirect object.

The line points to "Indirect Objects", so we label:
- Indirect Object: *me*

✔ So:
Indirect Object: *me*

Note: "to me" is a prepositional phrase, but in traditional grammar, *me* is the indirect object when it follows the verb directly (as in "gave me the book").

---

6. The teacher gave me the book.

- Subject: *The teacher*
- Predicate: *gave me the book*

Same as #5, just word order changed.

- Indirect Object: *me*
- Direct Object: *the book*

Again, the line points to "Indirect Objects", so we label:
- Indirect Object: *me*

✔ So:
Indirect Object: *me*

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. The dog runs.
→ Adjectives and Articles: *The* (article)

2. The handsome man cooks.
→ Direct Objects: *None*

3. The teacher reads the book.
→ Direct Objects: *the book*

4. The students study math.
→ Indirect Objects: *None*

5. The teacher gave the book to me.
→ Indirect Objects: *me*

6. The teacher gave me the book.
→ Indirect Objects: *me*
