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.
---
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.
---
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.
---
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.

Words: boy, he, a, is
- Subject: "He"
- Verb: "is"
- Object: "a boy"
✔ Correct sentence: He is a boy.
> Standard subject-verb-object structure.
---
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.
---
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.
---
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.
---
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.
---
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.
---
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.
Let me know if you'd like a version with full sentences (adding missing verbs).

3. (cat – a – dog – a – and)
Words: cat, a, dog, a, and
