Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: English worksheets: Simple sentences
Let's solve the task step by step. The goal is to rearrange the given words in each set to form a simple, grammatically correct sentence. We'll go through each one and explain how we arrive at the correct answer.

---

1. (is – a – She – girl)


Words: is, a, She, girl

- Start with the subject: "She"
- Then the verb: "is"
- Then the object: "a girl"

Correct sentence: She is a girl.

> Explanation: "She" is the subject, "is" is the linking verb, and "a girl" is the complement describing her.

---

2. (a – cat – is – it)


Words: a, cat, is, it

- Subject: "It"
- Verb: "is"
- Object: "a cat"

Correct sentence: It is a cat.

> Explanation: This is a simple declarative sentence identifying something as a cat.

---

3. (cat – a – dog – a – and)


Words: cat, a, dog, a, and

- Two nouns: "a cat" and "a dog"
- Connect them with "and"

Correct sentence: A cat and a dog.

> Note: This is a noun phrase, but since the instruction says "simple sentences", we might expect a full sentence. However, without a verb, this is likely intended as a list or phrase. But if we assume a missing verb like "are", it could be:

➡️ A cat and a dog are here. (But that adds words.)

Given only these words, the most logical rearrangement is:
A cat and a dog.

> But since it's not a complete sentence, perhaps the intended answer is just listing them. Alternatively, maybe the picture shows both animals together — so the sentence could be implied.

Wait — looking at the image, there’s a picture of a cat and a dog together. So likely, the sentence is meant to be:

A cat and a dog. (as a noun phrase)

Or possibly: There is a cat and a dog. — but again, "there" isn't provided.

So, with only the given words, the best possible arrangement is:

A cat and a dog.

> But strictly speaking, it's not a full sentence. However, for early learners, this may be acceptable.

Alternatively, maybe it's: A cat and a dog. — used as a title or description.

We’ll keep it as: A cat and a dog.

4. (boy – he – a – is)


Words: boy, he, a, is

- Subject: "He"
- Verb: "is"
- Object: "a boy"

Correct sentence: He is a boy.

> Standard subject-verb-object structure.

---

5. (bike – a – on – boy – a)


Words: bike, a, on, boy, a

- Subject: "A boy"
- Prepositional phrase: "on a bike"

Correct sentence: A boy is on a bike.

> Wait — “is” is missing! But the words given are: bike, a, on, boy, a

No "is" — so we can’t say "is".

But the picture shows a boy riding a bike — so likely, the sentence should include "is".

But the words don't have "is". Let's check:
Given: bike – a – on – boy – a

So: two "a"s, "bike", "on", "boy"

We can make: A boy on a bike.

That’s a noun phrase.

But again, not a full sentence.

Is there a typo? Maybe "is" was left out?

Alternatively, maybe the intended sentence is: A boy is on a bike., but "is" is missing.

But based only on the given words: a, boy, on, a, bike

Best rearrangement: A boy on a bike.

> Again, a noun phrase, but common in picture descriptions.

Alternatively, if we must make a sentence, perhaps the word "is" is implied.

But since it's not listed, we must use only what’s given.

So: A boy on a bike.

---

6. (are – They – books)


Words: are, They, books

- Subject: "They"
- Verb: "are"
- Object: "books"

Correct sentence: They are books.

> Simple subject-verb-object. The picture shows a stack of books — so "They" refers to the books.

---

7. (family – a – We – are)


Words: family, a, We, are

- Subject: "We"
- Verb: "are"
- Object: "a family"

Correct sentence: We are a family.

> Common expression, matches the picture of a group of people.

---

8. (a – with – boy – ball – A)


Words: a, with, boy, ball, A

Note: "A" and "a" — same word, capitalized differently.

So: A boy with a ball.

- Subject: "A boy"
- Prepositional phrase: "with a ball"

Correct sentence: A boy with a ball.

> Again, a noun phrase. But the picture shows a boy holding a ball.

If we want a full sentence, we’d need a verb like "is" or "has", but it’s not included.

So the best we can do with given words is:

A boy with a ball.

---

Final Answers:



1. She is a girl.
2. It is a cat.
3. A cat and a dog.
4. He is a boy.
5. A boy on a bike.
6. They are books.
7. We are a family.
8. A boy with a ball.

---

Summary:


Most of these are simple noun phrases or subject-verb-object sentences. Some lack verbs (like #3, #5, #8), so they’re not full sentences — but they're likely intended as descriptive phrases matching the pictures.

For educational purposes, especially for young learners, these are acceptable as simple sentence structures or descriptive phrases.
