Subject-Verb-Object worksheet for grammar practice.

Of course! Let's solve this Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) worksheet step by step.

🔍 What is Subject-Verb-Object?

In a sentence:
- Subject = Who or what the sentence is about. Usually a noun or pronoun.
- Verb = The action or state of being. It tells what the subject is doing or being.
- Object = The receiver of the action. Not all sentences have an object (e.g., intransitive verbs).

Let’s go through each sentence:

---

1. My mom cooks dinner in the kitchen.

- SUBJECT: *My mom* → who is doing the action
- VERB: *cooks* → the action
- OBJECT: *dinner* → what is being cooked

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: My mom
- VERB: cooks
- OBJECT: dinner

---

2. They eat some apples and bananas.

- SUBJECT: *They* → who is eating
- VERB: *eat* → the action
- OBJECT: *some apples and bananas* → what they are eating

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: They
- VERB: eat
- OBJECT: some apples and bananas

---

3. I don’t like strawberries.

- SUBJECT: *I* → who doesn’t like

- OBJECT: *strawberries* → what is not liked

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: I
- VERB: don’t like
- OBJECT: strawberries

4. This is my T-shirt.

This is a linking verb sentence (“is” links subject to description). In SVO structure, we often consider the complement after “be” as the object for simplicity in basic worksheets — though technically it’s a subject complement.

- SUBJECT: *This* → what we’re talking about
- VERB: *is* → linking verb
- OBJECT: *my T-shirt* → what “this” is

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: This
- VERB: is
- OBJECT: my T-shirt

---

5. Today, Rintaro attends online classes.

- SUBJECT: *Rintaro* → who attends
- VERB: *attends* → the action
- OBJECT: *online classes* → what he attends

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: Rintaro
- VERB: attends
- OBJECT: online classes

---

6. The house has three doors.

- SUBJECT: *The house* → what has something
- VERB: *has* → possession/action
- OBJECT: *three doors* → what the house has

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: The house
- VERB: has
- OBJECT: three doors

---

7. I sleep at 10pm.

- SUBJECT: *I* → who sleeps
- VERB: *sleep* → the action
- OBJECT: *(none)* → “sleep” is an intransitive verb — it doesn’t act on anything

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: I
- VERB: sleep
- OBJECT: (leave blank or write “none”)

> ⚠️ Note: Some worksheets might expect you to leave the object blank if there isn’t one.

8. At 12:00am, people count down to the New Year.

- SUBJECT: *people* → who counts down
- VERB: *count down* → the action (phrasal verb)
- OBJECT: *to the New Year* → what they count down to? Actually, “count down to...” is a prepositional phrase modifying the verb, but “the New Year” is the object of the preposition. However, in simple SVO terms, many teachers accept “the New Year” as the object here.

But strictly speaking, “count down” doesn’t take a direct object — it’s followed by a prepositional phrase. So technically, no direct object.

However, for elementary level worksheets, they likely expect:

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: people
- VERB: count down
- OBJECT: the New Year

*(Note: You can explain to students that "count down" is followed by "to [something]" — so “the New Year” is the goal, not a true direct object. But for this exercise, we’ll follow the pattern.)*

9. They are my cousins.

Another linking verb sentence.

- SUBJECT: *They* → who we’re describing
- VERB: *are* → linking verb
- OBJECT: *my cousins* → what they are (subject complement)

✔ Answer:
- SUBJECT: They
- VERB: are
- OBJECT: my cousins
