Subjects and Predicates worksheet for students to practice identifying sentence components.

Let's solve the task step by step.

Understanding the Task:

The goal is to:
- Underline the subject of each sentence with a red crayon (in this case, we'll identify it in red text).
- Underline the predicate of each sentence with a blue crayon (we'll identify it in blue text).

Definitions:

- Subject: The part of the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.
- Predicate: The part that tells what the subject does or is. It includes the verb and everything that follows.
