Let's solve the task step by step.
Task:
Underline the subject in each sentence.
The
subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. It usually comes before the verb and tells us who or what the sentence is about.
---
Sentence 1:
"I went to the park today."
- The word
"I" is the one performing the action (going to the park).
- So, the
subject is
"I".
✔ Underline:
I
---
Sentence 2:
"Mom baked cookies for us."
- Who is doing the baking?
Mom
- So, the
subject is
"Mom".
✔ Underline:
Mom
---
Sentence 3:
"The dog barked as we walked by."
- This sentence has two clauses:
- "The dog barked" → The
dog is doing the barking.
- "as we walked by" → describes when it happened.
- The main subject of the sentence is
"The dog".
✔ Underline:
The dog
---
Sentence 4:
"The car is blue and white."
- What is being described?
The car
- "Is" is the verb; "blue and white" is the predicate.
- So, the
subject is
"The car".
✔ Underline:
The car
---
Sentence 5:
"We are going to visit our grandparents."
- Who is going to visit?
We
- So, the
subject is
"We".
✔ Underline:
We
