Simple sentence completion worksheet for language learners.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. Remember, a simple sentence needs a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or being). Some sentences already have the subject — you need to add the predicate. Others have the predicate — you need to add the subject.
