Subject and Predicate worksheet for Class 3 English grammar practice.

Let's solve the task step by step.

🔹 Understanding the Task

We are asked to:
- Underline the subject of each sentence.
- Circle the predicate of each sentence.

#### Definitions:
- Subject: Who or what the sentence is about. (Usually comes before the verb.)
- Predicate: What is being said about the subject. It includes the verb and everything that follows it.

> ✔ Example:
> My father ⬅️ *subject*
> drove a car. ⬅️ *predicate*
> → So, underline "father" and circle "drove a car".

---

Now, let’s go through each sentence one by one.

---

✔ Solutions with Explanation

#### 1. The teacher read a book.
- Subject: The teacher → underline "teacher"
- Predicate: read a book → circle "read a book"
> ✔️ The teacher is doing the action (reading), so "teacher" is the subject. "Read a book" tells us what the teacher did — that’s the predicate.

---

#### 2. Jimmy cycled to the supermarket.
- Subject: Jimmy → underline "Jimmy"
- Predicate: cycled to the supermarket → circle "cycled to the supermarket"
> ✔️ Jimmy is the person performing the action. The rest describes what he did.

---

#### 3. The girls were singing in the class.
- Subject: The girls → underline "girls"
- Predicate: were singing in the class → circle "were singing in the class"
> ✔️ "Girls" is who the sentence is about. The rest tells us what they were doing.

---

#### 4. The children watched a movie on TV.
- Subject: The children → underline "children"
- Predicate: watched a movie on TV → circle "watched a movie on TV"
> ✔️ Children are the ones watching — so they’re the subject. The rest is the action.

---

#### 5. On Sunday, Anne went to the church.
- Subject: Anne → underline "Anne"
- Predicate: went to the church → circle "went to the church"
> ✔️ Note: "On Sunday" is just time information (adverbial phrase). It doesn’t affect subject/predicate. The main actor is Anne.

---

#### 6. Our Headmaster rang the school bell.
- Subject: Our Headmaster → underline "Headmaster"
- Predicate: rang the school bell → circle "rang the school bell"
> ✔️ Even though "Our" is possessive, the subject is "Headmaster". The verb "rang" and object "the school bell" form the predicate.

---

#### 7. Golf is my favourite sport.
- Subject: Golf → underline "Golf"
- Predicate: is my favourite sport → circle "is my favourite sport"
> ✔️ "Golf" is what the sentence is about. The predicate says what golf is.

---

#### 8. The pack of wolves ran in the jungle.
- Subject: The pack of wolves → underline "pack" (or the whole noun phrase?)
> ❓ But remember: Simple subject = main noun without descriptors.

So:
- Simple Subject: pack → underline "pack"
- Predicate: ran in the jungle → circle "ran in the jungle"

> ✔️ Although “the pack of wolves” is the full subject, the simple subject is just “pack”. We're underlining the simple subject, as per instructions.

---

✔ Final Answer Format:

Here’s how you should mark each sentence:

1. The teacher read a book.
→ Underline: teacher
→ Circle: read a book

2. Jimmy cycled to the supermarket.
→ Underline: Jimmy
→ Circle: cycled to the supermarket

3. The girls were singing in the class.
→ Underline: girls
→ Circle: were singing in the class

4. The children watched a movie on TV.
→ Underline: children
→ Circle: watched a movie on TV

5. On Sunday, Anne went to the church.
→ Underline: Anne
→ Circle: went to the church

6. Our Headmaster rang the school bell.
→ Underline: Headmaster
→ Circle: rang the school bell

7. Golf is my favourite sport.
→ Underline: Golf
→ Circle: is my favourite sport

8. The pack of wolves ran in the jungle.
→ Underline: pack
→ Circle: ran in the jungle

📝 Summary Tips:

- Always find who or what is doing something → that’s the subject.
- Everything else (especially the verb and its objects) → that’s the predicate.
- For simple subject, ignore descriptive words like "the", "of wolves", etc.
- The simple predicate is the verb, but here we are circling the full predicate (not just the verb).
