🔹 Definitions (from the box):

- Complete subject: All the words in the subject of a sentence.
- Simple subject: The main word or words in the subject — it tells *who* or *what* the sentence is about.

## ✔ Part A: Draw a line between the subject and the predicate

We need to split each sentence into:
- Subject (who/what the sentence is about)
- Predicate (what the subject does or is)

Let’s go through each:

1. This story tells about Jamie and Grama Bowman.
→ Subject: *This story*
→ Predicate: *tells about Jamie and Grama Bowman.*
✔ Line after "story"

2. Grama Bowman used to tell Jamie stories.
→ Subject: *Grama Bowman*
→ Predicate: *used to tell Jamie stories.*
✔ Line after "Bowman"

3. Jamie’s great-grandmother loved to see the fox’s tracks.
→ Subject: *Jamie’s great-grandmother*
→ Predicate: *loved to see the fox’s tracks.*
✔ Line after "great-grandmother"

4. Her best friend, Wokwses the Fox, left the tracks.
→ Subject: *Her best friend, Wokwses the Fox*
→ Predicate: *left the tracks.*
✔ Line after "Fox"

5. That clever fox delighted Grama.
→ Subject: *That clever fox*
→ Predicate: *delighted Grama.*
✔ Line after "fox"

6. Grama’s song is a kind of fox song.
→ Subject: *Grama’s song*
→ Predicate: *is a kind of fox song.*
✔ Line after "song"

## ✔ Part B: Underline the complete subject once and the simple subject twice

Now we underline:
- Complete subject → once
- Simple subject → twice

Let’s go one by one:

1. The autumn leaves were blowing in the wind.
- Complete subject: *The autumn leaves* → underline once
- Simple subject: *leaves* → underline twice
➤ *The autumn leaves were blowing in the wind.*

2. The old Indian people told a story about the leaves.
- Complete subject: *The old Indian people* → underline once
- Simple subject: *people* → underline twice
➤ *The old Indian people told a story about the leaves.*

3. The fall season is the time for leaf dances.
- Complete subject: *The fall season* → underline once
- Simple subject: *season* → underline twice
➤ *The fall season is the time for leaf dances.*

4. The leaves put on their best colors at that time.
- Complete subject: *The leaves* → underline once

✔ Summary of Key Tips:

- The simple subject is usually the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about.
- The complete subject includes any descriptive words before the simple subject (like adjectives or appositives).
- Always look for the main verb to find where the predicate starts.
- Use context: ask “Who or what is doing the action?” → that’s the subject.
