You're working on a grammar exercise that asks you to:
✔ Circle the naming part of each sentence (this is the
subject — who or what the sentence is about).
✔ Underline the action part of each sentence (this is the
predicate — what the subject is doing or being).
---
✔ How to identify them:
-
Naming part (Subject): Usually a noun or pronoun — tells us *who* or *what* the sentence is about.
-
Action part (Predicate): Contains the verb and tells us *what the subject is doing or being*.

💡 Tip for students:
The
naming part answers “Who?” or “What?” — e.g., *Who is flying? → The bird.*
The
action part answers “What is happening?” — e.g., *What is the bird doing? → is flying.*
