Practice identifying simple and complete subjects in sentences.

I'll solve this worksheet problem by identifying the simple and complete subjects in each sentence. Let me work through this step by step.

First, I need to understand what the worksheet is asking for:
- The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about
- The complete subject includes all the words that tell us who or what the sentence is about

Let me go through each sentence one by one:

1. "An important artist was born in Málaga, Spain, in 1881."
- Simple subject: "artist" (the main noun)
- Complete subject: "An important artist"

2. "His parents named him Pablo Ruiz Picasso."
- Simple subject: "parents" (the main noun doing the action)
- Complete subject: "His parents"

3. "His father taught art and was the curator of a museum."
- Simple subject: "father"
- Complete subject: "His father"

4. "Young Picasso showed a natural talent in art."
- Simple subject: "Picasso"
- Complete subject: "Young Picasso"

5. "At the age of 16, he entered the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid."
- Simple subject: "he"
- Complete subject: "he" (there's no additional descriptive words before "he")

6. "Pablo disliked the teaching and left after one term."
- Simple subject: "Pablo"
- Complete subject: "Pablo"

7. "A trip to Paris in 1900 was a new and exciting environment for Picasso."
- Simple subject: "trip"
- Complete subject: "A trip to Paris in 1900"

8. "Picasso's pictures from this period featured the color blue."
- Simple subject: "pictures"
- Complete subject: "Picasso's pictures from this period"

9. "The work of other artists interested Picasso at this time."
- Simple subject: "work"
- Complete subject: "The work of other artists"

10. "Art collectors began to buy Picasso's paintings."
- Simple subject: "collectors"
- Complete subject: "Art collectors"

11. "By 1907, tribal masks from Africa had influenced his work."
- Simple subject: "masks"
- Complete subject: "tribal masks from Africa"

12. "Some people were shocked by this new style called Cubism."
- Simple subject: "people"
- Complete subject: "Some people"

Now I'll provide the final answer with the underlined complete subjects and circled simple subjects as requested.
