Explanation:
We need to decide whether the underlined part of each sentence is the
subject or the
predicate.
Let’s remember:
- The
subject is who or what the sentence is about — usually a noun or pronoun (e.g., *Ben*, *The ants*, *Jane*).
- The
predicate tells what the subject does or is — it includes the verb and often more (e.g., *finds a nut*, *make a nest*, *helps her mom*).
Now go through each sentence one by one:
1. *Ben finds a nut.* → Underlined:
Ben
→ *Ben* is the person doing the action →
subject
2. *The ants make a nest.* → Underlined:
The ants
→ Who is making the nest? The ants →
subject
3. *Jane helps her mom.* → Underlined:
Jane
→ Jane is the one helping →
subject
4. *Jill puts the duck in the tub.* → Underlined:
puts the duck in the tub
→ This tells what Jill does →
predicate
5. *The bug makes a web.* → Underlined:

→ What does the bug do? Makes a web →
predicate
6. *The pigs play in the mud.* → Underlined:

7. *A fox sits on a log.* → Underlined:

8. *May and July are months of the year.* → Underlined:

→ These are the things being described →
subject
9. *Kate will rush in the Junkanoo parade.* → Underlined:

→ This tells what Kate will do →
predicate
10. *Pete and Tate are playing soccer.* → Underlined:
