Step-by-step solution for: Subject and Predicate Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Subject and Predicate" that includes instructions and 10 sentences for students to identify the complete subject and complete predicate in each sentence.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this task based on the text you’ve provided. Here’s how we can approach it:
---
- Complete Subject: Everything in the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.
- Complete Predicate: Everything that tells what the subject does or is (includes the verb and all other details).
Let’s go through each sentence one by one.
---
1. The purple mouse made a sight of the cursor.
- Complete Subject: *The purple mouse*
- Complete Predicate: *made a sight of the cursor*
- 📌 The subject is "The purple mouse" — who is doing the action. The predicate explains what they did.
2. Sarah jumped often like a kangaroo at the fair.
- Complete Subject: *Sarah*
- Complete Predicate: *jumped often like a kangaroo at the fair*
- 📌 "Sarah" is the person doing the action. The rest describes her action.
3. My brother will like to play chess together.
- Complete Subject: *My brother*
- Complete Predicate: *will like to play chess together*
- 📌 "My brother" is the subject; "will like..." is the full action.
4. Batteries in my neighborhood move a dog.
- Complete Subject: *Batteries in my neighborhood*
- Complete Predicate: *move a dog*
- 📌 This sentence is unusual (batteries moving a dog?), but grammatically, the subject includes the phrase describing which batteries.
5. Our cat has eaten breakfast already.
- Complete Subject: *Our cat*
- Complete Predicate: *has eaten breakfast already*
- 📌 Simple sentence. "Our cat" is the subject; "has eaten..." is the action.
6. Tobias runs fast down the street.
- Complete Subject: *Tobias*
- Complete Predicate: *runs fast down the street*
- 📌 "Tobias" is the subject; "runs..." describes his action.
7. Dogs get, run, and bark, like my friends.
- Complete Subject: *Dogs*
- Complete Predicate: *get, run, and bark, like my friends*
- 📌 Even though there are multiple verbs ("get, run, and bark"), they're part of the same predicate. "Like my friends" is a comparison, not part of the subject.
8. The weather is hot this summer.
- Complete Subject: *The weather*
- Complete Predicate: *is hot this summer*
- 📌 "The weather" is the subject; "is hot..." describes its state.
9. People have been waiting for too much good.
- Complete Subject: *People*
- Complete Predicate: *have been waiting for too much good*
- 📌 "People" is the subject; "have been waiting..." is the action.
10. Luther saw a yellow nightlight.
- Complete Subject: *Luther*
- Complete Predicate: *saw a yellow nightlight*
- 📌 "Luther" is the subject; "saw..." is the action.
