Simple Sentences worksheet for identifying subjects and predicates in grammar exercises.

Explanation:
To solve this task, we need to identify the subject and the predicate in each sentence.

- The subject is the part of the sentence that tells us who or what the sentence is about. It usually includes a noun or pronoun.
- The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject. It usually includes a verb and sometimes other words.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one:

1) I like reading bedtime stories before sleeping.
- Subject: I (the person doing the action)
- Predicate: like reading bedtime stories before sleeping (what I am doing)

2) Martha and Penny have been very busy with the new project.

10) The teacher wants us to hand in our homework tomorrow.
