Educational worksheet for practicing simple and complete predicates in grammar.

Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific content of your uploaded image. However, based on your description, it appears to be a worksheet titled "Simple and Complete Predicates" with instructions to:

- Underline the complete predicate in each sentence.
- Circle the simple predicate (the main verb or verb phrase) within that.

Let me help you solve this step by step using the sentences provided in your text. Here’s how we’ll approach each sentence:

---

Understanding the Terms:

- Complete Predicate: Everything in the sentence that tells what the subject does or is (includes the verb and all modifiers/objects).
- Simple Predicate: Just the main verb or verb phrase (the core action or state).

---

Now, let's go through each sentence:

1. Few American women worked outside the home in the early 1800s.
- Complete Predicate: *worked outside the home in the early 1800s*
- Simple Predicate: *worked*

2. Clotilda Hailtow Barton had three major careers.
- Complete Predicate: *had three major careers*
- Simple Predicate: *had*

3. She began her working life as a school teacher.
- Complete Predicate: *began her working life as a school teacher*
- Simple Predicate: *began*

4. She instructed 40 children, ages four to 13, in a one-room schoolhouse.
- Complete Predicate: *instructed 40 children, ages four to 13, in a one-room schoolhouse*
- Simple Predicate: *instructed*

5. Barton helped care for the wounded during the Civil War.
- Complete Predicate: *helped care for the wounded during the Civil War*
- Simple Predicate: *helped*

6. At nursing schools existed at that time.
- This sentence seems incorrect or poorly worded. Likely meant to be: *"There were no nursing schools at that time."* But as written:
- Complete Predicate: *existed at that time*
- Simple Predicate: *existed*
- Note: The subject "At nursing schools" is ungrammatical. Probably a typo.

7. People like Clara Barton learned the job by doing it.
- Complete Predicate: *learned the job by doing it*
- Simple Predicate: *learned*

8. Barton’s nurses service earned her the nickname “Angel of the Battlefield.”
- Complete Predicate: *earned her the nickname “Angel of the Battlefield”*
- Simple Predicate: *earned*
- Note: "nurses service" should likely be "nursing service" — possibly a typo.

9. Clara Barton went to Europe in 1869.
- Complete Predicate: *went to Europe in 1869*
- Simple Predicate: *went*

10. She learned about a new organization called the International Red Cross.
- Complete Predicate: *learned about a new organization called the International Red Cross*
- Simple Predicate: *learned*

11. Barton founded the American Red Cross in 1881.
- Complete Predicate: *founded the American Red Cross in 1881*
- Simple Predicate: *founded*

12. The new organization chose Clara Barton as its first president.
- Complete Predicate: *chose Clara Barton as its first president*
- Simple Predicate: *chose*
