Step-by-step solution for: Subject / Verb / Object - Matching Triples Worksheet - Quickworksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Subject / Verb / Object", which is designed to help students identify the subject, verb, and object in sentences. However, the image is not visible to me, so I can't see the actual content or the specific task.
But based on the structure of the worksheet (as described by the text you provided), here's how to solve this type of problem:
---
Each sentence has three parts:
1. Subject – who or what is doing the action.
2. Verb – the action being performed.
3. Object – who or what receives the action.
The goal is to fill in the blanks with the correct subject, verb, and object for each sentence.
---
Let’s go through the first few examples from your list (based on what you typed):
---
#### 1.
Sentence: *I wiped my face.*
- Subject: *I* (the one doing the action)
- Verb: *wiped* (the action)
- Object: *my face* (what was wiped)
✔ So:
- Subject: I
- Verb: wiped
- Object: my face
---
#### 2.
Sentence: *The boy walked in the room.*
- Subject: *The boy*
- Verb: *walked*
- Object: *in the room* → Wait! This is a prepositional phrase, not an object.
⚠️ Important: "In the room" is not the object — it tells where he walked.
So, there is no direct object here.
✔ So:
- Subject: The boy
- Verb: walked
- Object: None (or leave blank if not required)
> Note: Some verbs (like "walk") are intransitive — they don’t take objects.
---
#### 3.
Sentence: *My mother made a cake.*
- Subject: *My mother*
- Verb: *made*
- Object: *a cake* (what was made)
✔ So:
- Subject: My mother
- Verb: made
- Object: a cake
---
#### 4.
Sentence: *He bathed his dog.*
- Subject: *He*
- Verb: *bathed*
- Object: *his dog*
✔ So:
- Subject: He
- Verb: bathed
- Object: his dog
---
#### 5.
Sentence: *The children were woken up.*
This is passive voice.
- Subject: *The children*
- Verb: *were woken up* (past passive)
- Object: None (because it's passive — the subject is receiving the action)
But if we think about the active version: *"Someone woke the children up."* → The object would be *the children*, but here they're the subject.
✔ So:
- Subject: The children
- Verb: were woken up
- Object: None (passive construction)
---
#### 6.
Sentence: *The teacher gave a prize to me.*
- Subject: *The teacher*
- Verb: *gave*
- Object: *a prize* (direct object)
- *to me* is indirect object (recipient)
But in basic SVO analysis, we usually focus on the direct object.
✔ So:
- Subject: The teacher
- Verb: gave
- Object: a prize
(Alternatively, some might say *me* is the object — but technically, *a prize* is the direct object.)
---
#### 7.
Sentence: *The bird hatched.*
- Subject: *The bird*
- Verb: *hatched*
- Object: None — "hatched" is an intransitive verb
✔ So:
- Subject: The bird
- Verb: hatched
- Object: None
---
#### 8.
Sentence: *The cat played.*
- Subject: *The cat*
- Verb: *played*
- Object: None — “played” is intransitive
✔ So:
- Subject: The cat
- Verb: played
- Object: None
---
#### 9.
Sentence: *The dog ran to the park.*
- Subject: *The dog*
- Verb: *ran*
- Object: None — "ran" is intransitive
✔ So:
- Subject: The dog
- Verb: ran
- Object: None
---
#### 10.
Sentence: *My daughter baked a cake.*
- Subject: *My daughter*
- Verb: *baked*
- Object: *a cake*
✔ So:
- Subject: My daughter
- Verb: baked
- Object: a cake
---
#### 11.
Sentence: *The child drank milk.*
- Subject: *The child*
- Verb: *drank*
- Object: *milk*
✔ So:
- Subject: The child
- Verb: drank
- Object: milk
---
#### 12.
Sentence: *The weather is fine.*
- Subject: *The weather*
- Verb: *is* (linking verb)
- Object: None — “fine” is a complement, not an object
✔ So:
- Subject: The weather
- Verb: is
- Object: None
> Note: Linking verbs (like *be*, *seem*, *become*) don't take objects — they link the subject to a complement.
---
#### 13.
Sentence: *I met my friend.*
- Subject: *I*
- Verb: *met*
- Object: *my friend*
✔ So:
- Subject: I
- Verb: met
- Object: my friend
---
#### 14.
Sentence: *She looked at me.*
- Subject: *She*
- Verb: *looked*
- Object: *me* (indirect object? Or prepositional object?)
Wait: “Looked at me” — *at me* is a prepositional phrase.
But “looked” is a transitive verb when used with a direct object — e.g., “She looked her brother.” But here, it’s followed by a preposition.
So, “me” is not a direct object — it's part of the prepositional phrase.
✔ So:
- Subject: She
- Verb: looked
- Object: None (or *me* as the object of the preposition)
But in SVO terms, no direct object.
---
#### 15.
Sentence: *The girl carried her baby.*
- Subject: *The girl*
- Verb: *carried*
- Object: *her baby*
✔ So:
- Subject: The girl
- Verb: carried
- Object: her baby
---

| 15 | The girl carried her baby. | The girl | carried | her baby |
---
- Look for who/what doing the action → Subject
- Find the main action word → Verb
- Ask: “What did [subject] do to?” → That’s the object
- If the verb doesn’t take an object (e.g., *sleep, run, walk*), then no object
- Be careful with passive voice and prepositions — they’re not objects!
