Step-by-step solution for: Compound Subject and Predicate Worksheet | Sentence Structure Activity
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Subjects and Predicates" that asks students to:
- Circle the subject of each sentence.
- Underline the predicate of each sentence.
Let’s go through this step by step. Since I can't view images directly, I’ll assume you're asking me to solve the worksheet based on the text provided in your message (which appears to be a transcription or description of the worksheet). Here's the list of sentences from the worksheet:
---
Read each sentence. Circle the subject. Underline the predicate.
---

2. A black cat ran across the street.
3. I went to the movies with my family last weekend.
4. Mom took out the mail and bought us some new clothes.

12. Dad likes to eat potato chips while watching television.
13. I read a book rolled down the hallway and down the stairs. *(Note: This sentence is grammatically incorrect — likely meant to be "I read a book" and "The book rolled..." or similar.)*

15. Michael, Gloria, and Laura are studying for the spelling test.
16. The children were at a singing contest during recess.

Now, let’s solve each sentence by identifying the subject (who or what the sentence is about) and the predicate (what the subject does or is).
---
1. My friends and I played baseball last night.
- Subject: My friends and I
- Predicate: played baseball last night
2. A black cat ran across the street.
- Subject: A black cat
- Predicate: ran across the street
3. I went to the movies with my family last weekend.
- Subject: I
- Predicate: went to the movies with my family last weekend
4. Mom took out the mail and bought us some new clothes.
- Subject: Mom
- Predicate: took out the mail and bought us some new clothes
5. Jack climbed the mountain up to the castle.
- Subject: Jack
- Predicate: climbed the mountain up to the castle
6. Jack and Jill went up the hill.
- Subject: Jack and Jill
- Predicate: went up the hill
7. The children played in the yard.
- Subject: The children
- Predicate: played in the yard
8. Marcus ate his bowl of oatmeal in only 3 minutes.
- Subject: Marcus
- Predicate: ate his bowl of oatmeal in only 3 minutes

10. My Aunt Sally gives me two dollars for my birthday.
- Subject: My Aunt Sally
- Predicate: gives me two dollars for my birthday
11. She goes were playing outside in the park.
- ✘ This sentence is incorrect. Likely intended:
→ "She was playing outside in the park."
- Subject: She
- Predicate: was playing outside in the park
12. Dad likes to eat potato chips while watching television.
- Subject: Dad
- Predicate: likes to eat potato chips while watching television
13. I read a book rolled down the hallway and down the stairs.
- ✘ Grammatically incorrect. Likely intended:
→ "I read a book. The book rolled down the hallway and down the stairs."
Or: "I read a book that rolled down the hallway and down the stairs."
But as written, it's unclear.
- If we assume “I” is the subject:
- Subject: I
- Predicate: read a book rolled down the hallway and down the stairs → this doesn’t make sense.
So this sentence needs correction.
14. I read a book about elephants.
- Subject: I
- Predicate: read a book about elephants
15. Michael, Gloria, and Laura are studying for the spelling test.
- Subject: Michael, Gloria, and Laura
- Predicate: are studying for the spelling test

- Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It usually comes before the verb.
- Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is. It includes the verb and everything that follows.
💡 Tips:
- Look for the main verb — it often helps locate the subject.
- Compound subjects (like "Jack and Jill") are joined by "and".
- Some sentences have compound predicates (multiple verbs), but the subject remains one.
---
- Sentence 11: Fix grammar ("She goes were playing..." → "She was playing...")
- Sentence 13: Fix run-on or unclear structure.
