Let’s go through this step by step.
The worksheet is about
Subjects and Predicates.
- The
subject is who or what the sentence is about (usually a noun or pronoun).
- The
predicate tells what the subject does or is (usually a verb and anything that follows it).
We need to underline the subject once and the predicate twice in each sentence.
---
Sentence 1: Allison jumped on her bed.
→ Subject: *Allison* (who did the action)
→ Predicate: *jumped on her bed* (what she did)
✔ Underline “Allison” once, “jumped on her bed” twice.
Sentence 2: Bradley rode his bike to school today.
→ Subject: *Bradley*
→ Predicate: *rode his bike to school today*
✔ Underline “Bradley” once, rest twice.
Sentence 3: Mason and Seth played football at recess.
→ Subject: *Mason and Seth* (two people — still one subject group)
→ Predicate: *played football at recess*
✔ Underline “Mason and Seth” once, rest twice.
Sentence 4: Luci and her mother went to the races.
→ Subject: *Luci and her mother*
→ Predicate: *went to the races*
✔ Underline subject once, predicate twice.
Sentence 5: The dog chased the cat through the yard.
→ Subject: *The dog*
→ Predicate: *chased the cat through the yard*
✔ Underline “The dog” once, rest twice.
Sentence 6: Mr. Kelley’s class earned a free recess.
→ Subject: *Mr. Kelley’s class* (the whole group)
→ Predicate: *earned a free recess*
✔ Underline subject once, predicate twice.
Sentence 7: We won fifty dollars at the fair.
→ Subject: *We*
→ Predicate: *won fifty dollars at the fair*
✔ Underline “We” once, rest twice.
Sentence 8: Peyton took his book back to the library.
→ Subject: *Peyton*
→ Predicate: *took his book back to the library*
✔ Underline “Peyton” once, rest twice.
Sentence 9: She painted her bedroom pink and purple.
→ Subject: *She*
→ Predicate: *painted her bedroom pink and purple*
✔ Underline “She” once, rest twice.
Sentence 10: Katie cheered when her team won the game.

Final Answer:
For each sentence, underline the subject (who/what the sentence is about) once, and the predicate (what the subject does) twice. Example for sentence 1: _Allison_ jumped on her bed. → _Allison_ (once), _jumped on her bed_ (twice). Do this for all 10 sentences following the same pattern.
