S-V-O worksheet for grammar practice with sentence analysis.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one and find the Subject, Verb, and Object.

Remember:
- Subject = who or what the sentence is about (the doer)
- Verb = the action word
- Object = who or what receives the action

---

1. We are studying English.
→ Subject: We
→ Verb: are studying
→ Object: English

2. The boy climbed the tree.
→ Subject: The boy
→ Verb: climbed
→ Object: the tree

3. Dogs chase cats.
→ Subject: Dogs
→ Verb: chase
→ Object: cats

4. She is eating some sweets.
→ Subject: She
→ Verb: is eating
→ Object: some sweets

5. I’m making a cake.
→ Subject: I
→ Verb: ’m making (am making)
→ Object: a cake

6. Amy finds my key.
→ Subject: Amy
→ Verb: finds
→ Object: my key

7. They play cricket at 4pm.
→ Subject: They
→ Verb: play
→ Object: cricket
*(Note: “at 4pm” is extra info — not part of SVO)*

8. Tom was sleeping.
→ Subject: Tom
→ Verb: was sleeping
→ Object: *(none — this sentence has no object because “sleeping” doesn’t act on anything)*
Wait — let’s double-check! “Sleeping” is an intransitive verb here — it doesn’t take an object. So we write “—” for object? But the worksheet says to underline noun/verb/object. Maybe they expect us to leave object blank? Actually, looking back — instruction says “underline the subject, verb & object”. If there’s no object, maybe just don’t underline anything for object? But since we’re listing them, perhaps we say “no object”.

But wait — let’s check sentence 9 too.

Actually, let’s be consistent. In school worksheets like this, if there’s no object, you might still list subject and verb, and leave object blank or write “none”. But since the format asks for all three, and some sentences may not have objects, we’ll note that.

BUT — looking again at sentence 8: “Tom was sleeping.” → This is subject + verb only. No object.

Same with sentence 10: “They watched a car.” → That DOES have an object.

Wait — let me re-read all:

Sentence 8: “Tom was sleeping.” → no object
Sentence 9: “I can climb trees.” → “trees” is object
Sentence 10: “She likes her new dress.” → “her new dress” is object
Sentence 11: “One child has two toys.” → “two toys” is object
Sentence 12: “My friend loves pizza.” → “pizza” is object
Sentence 13: “They wanted a car.” → “a car” is object

So only sentence 8 has no object.

But let’s confirm sentence 7: “They play cricket at 4pm.” → “cricket” is object, “at 4pm” is adverbial phrase — ignore for SVO.

Okay, now let’s make our final list.

We’ll write for each sentence:

Subject | Verb | Object

1. We | are studying | English
2. The boy | climbed | the tree
3. Dogs | chase | cats
4. She | is eating | some sweets
5. I | am making | a cake
6. Amy | finds | my key
7. They | play | cricket
8. Tom | was sleeping | — (no object)
9. I | can climb | trees
10. She | likes | her new dress
11. One child | has | two toys
12. My friend | loves | pizza
13. They | wanted | a car

Wait — sentence 9: “I can climb trees.” → “can climb” is the verb phrase? Or is “climb” the main verb and “can” is auxiliary?

In SVO analysis for beginners, often the whole verb phrase is taken as the verb. So “can climb” = verb.

Similarly, sentence 5: “I’m making” = “am making” = verb.

So yes, we keep the helping verbs with the main verb.

Also, sentence 11: “One child has two toys.” → “has” is verb, “two toys” is object.

All good.

Now, let’s write the answers clearly.

Final Answer:

1. Subject: We, Verb: are studying, Object: English
2. Subject: The boy, Verb: climbed, Object: the tree
3. Subject: Dogs, Verb: chase, Object: cats
4. Subject: She, Verb: is eating, Object: some sweets
5. Subject: I, Verb: am making, Object: a cake
6. Subject: Amy, Verb: finds, Object: my key
7. Subject: They, Verb: play, Object: cricket
8. Subject: Tom, Verb: was sleeping, Object: none
9. Subject: I, Verb: can climb, Object: trees
10. Subject: She, Verb: likes, Object: her new dress
11. Subject: One child, Verb: has, Object: two toys
12. Subject: My friend, Verb: loves, Object: pizza
13. Subject: They, Verb: wanted, Object: a car
