Subject and Predicate Examples and Worksheets | KidsKonnect - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step.

We are given a list of predicates (the part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is). Our job is to come up with a good subject for each one — someone or something that makes sense doing that action.

Remember: The subject is who or what the sentence is about. It usually comes before the verb.

Let’s look at each predicate and think of a logical subject:

1. “are having fun tonight.” → This needs a plural subject (because of “are”). Could be “My friends”, “The kids”, “We”, etc.
2. “saved enough food for three days.” → Someone prepared ahead. Maybe “The hikers”, “Mom”, “They”.
3. “withdrew from the game.” → A player or team quit. “He”, “She”, “The captain”, “Our team”.
4. “wrote a long letter for her father.” → A girl or woman wrote it. “She”, “My sister”, “Emily”.
5. “baked a delicious cupcake for his friends.” → A boy or man baked it. “He”, “My brother”, “Jake”.
6. “drove a Mustang to school.” → Someone drove a car. “He”, “She”, “My dad”, “The teenager”.
7. “called the teacher for her constant absences.” → Probably a parent or guardian called. “Her mom”, “The principal”, “They”.
8. “grows as tall as the building.” → Something very tall — maybe a tree, plant, or even a person in a story. “The oak tree”, “That beanstalk”, “He” (if fictional).
9. “swam in the sea.” → Someone or something that swims. “The dolphins”, “We”, “She”, “The children”.
10. “watched movies all day.” → People who relax at home. “They”, “I”, “My cousins”, “The family”.

Now let’s pick simple, clear subjects that fit naturally. We’ll use common nouns or pronouns that make sense grammatically and logically.

1. My friends
2. The campers
3. He
4. She
5. My brother
6. She
7. Her mom
