Step-by-step solution for: Parts of Sentences
Let's solve the worksheet step by step.
Encircle the subject and underline the predicate in each sentence.
---
- Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. It is usually the "who" or "what" of the sentence.
- Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is. It includes the verb and everything that follows it.
---
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
- Subject: *The Philippines* → This is the main noun being described.
- Predicate: *is one of the largest archipelagos in the world* → Tells what the Philippines is.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *The Philippines*
Underline: *is one of the largest archipelagos in the world*
---
- Subject: *An archipelago* → What the sentence is about.
- Predicate: *is an area that contains a group of islands scattered in lakes, rivers, or the ocean* → Describes the archipelago.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *An archipelago*
Underline: *is an area that contains a group of islands scattered in lakes, rivers, or the ocean*
---
- Subject: *The jeepney* → The main topic.
- Predicate: *is the iconic symbol of the country* → What the jeepney is.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *The jeepney*
Underline: *is the iconic symbol of the country*
---
- Subject: *EDSA* → The main noun.
- Predicate: *was formerly known as Highway 54* → What happened to EDSA.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *EDSA*
Underline: *was formerly known as Highway 54*
---
⚠️ Note: There’s a comma splice here. The sentence has two clauses:
- "The Tarsier is an animal with eyes the size of saucers"
- "is the world’s smallest primate"
But it's written incorrectly. However, we’ll treat it as intended to be one sentence with the subject being *The Tarsier*, and the full description as the predicate.
- Subject: *The Tarsier* (even though there’s a comma after it, it's still the subject)
- Predicate: *is an animal with eyes the size of saucers, is the world’s smallest primate* → This is awkward but describes the Tarsier.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *The Tarsier*
Underline: *is an animal with eyes the size of saucers, is the world’s smallest primate*
> Note: A better version would be: "The Tarsier, an animal with eyes the size of saucers, is the world’s smallest primate." But for this exercise, we follow the given text.
---
- Subject: *It* → Refers to the Tarsier (from previous sentence).
- Predicate: *is an extremely shy creature from Leyte and Bohol* → Describes "it".
✔ Answer:
Circle: *It*
Underline: *is an extremely shy creature from Leyte and Bohol*
---
- Subject: *The Philippine Eagle* → The main subject.
- Predicate: *is the largest of all eagles with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet* → What the eagle is.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *The Philippine Eagle*
Underline: *is the largest of all eagles with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet*
---
- Subject: *America* → Who performed the action.
- Predicate: *ruled the Philippines for 44 years* → What America did.
✔ Answer:
Circle: *America*
Underline: *ruled the Philippines for 44 years*
