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

You’re looking at a grammar worksheet titled “Subjects and Predicates”. The goal is to identify the subject and predicate in each sentence, and then underline the predicate.

---

✔ First, let’s understand the definitions:

- Subject: Who or what the sentence is about — usually a person, place, thing, or idea.
- Predicate: What the subject does or is — it includes the verb and everything that follows it.

> 💡 Tip: Ask yourself: “Who or what is doing something?” → That’s the subject.
> Then ask: “What are they doing?” → That’s the predicate.

---

📝 Now, let’s go through each sentence one by one and underline the predicate.

---

#### 1. Allison jumped on her bed.
- Subject: *Allison*
- Predicate: jumped on her bed ← ✔️ Underline this part

---

#### 2. Bradley rode his bike to school today.
- Subject: *Bradley*
- Predicate: rode his bike to school today ← ✔️ Underline this

---

#### 3. Mason and Seth played football at recess.
- Subject: *Mason and Seth* (compound subject)
- Predicate: played football at recess ← ✔️ Underline this

---

#### 4. Luci and her mother went to the races.
- Subject: *Luci and her mother*
- Predicate: went to the races ← ✔️ Underline this

---

#### 5. The dog chased the cat through the yard.

---

#### 10. Katie cheered when her team won the game.

*(Note: “when her team won the game” is part of the predicate because it explains when she cheered — it’s an adverbial clause modifying “cheered”)*
