Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task has two parts:

1. Write the complete subject of each sentence on the line.
2. Underline the predicate in each sentence.

---

🔹 Part 1: Write the complete subject of each sentence.

The complete subject includes the main noun (or pronoun) and all the words that describe or modify it.

---

#### 1. That orange blouse is nice.
- Complete subject: *That orange blouse*
→ "That" is a demonstrative adjective modifying "blouse", and "orange" is an adjective describing the blouse. So, the whole noun phrase is the subject.

✔ Answer: *That orange blouse*

---

#### 2. The box I dropped burst open.
- This is a complex sentence with a relative clause ("I dropped") modifying "box".
- The complete subject is: *The box I dropped*
- "The box" is the main noun, and "I dropped" tells us which box.

✔ Answer: *The box I dropped*

#### 3. This work is so satisfying.
- "This work" is the subject. "This" modifies "work", and "work" is the noun.
- "is so satisfying" is the predicate.

✔ Answer: *This work*

---

#### 4. Our date for Saturday should be fun.
- "Our date for Saturday" is the subject. "Our" is possessive, "date" is the noun, and "for Saturday" is a prepositional phrase modifying "date".

✔ Answer: *Our date for Saturday*

---

#### 5. The woman in the car was her mother.
- "The woman in the car" is the subject. "in the car" describes which woman.

✔ Answer: *The woman in the car*

🔹 Part 2: Underline the predicate in each sentence.

The predicate contains the verb and everything that follows it, telling what the subject does or is.

We will underline the predicate in each sentence.

#### 9. The rain that fell was good for the garden.
- Subject: *The rain that fell*
- Predicate: *was good for the garden*

Note: "that fell" is a relative clause modifying "rain", but it's part of the subject.

✔ Underline: *was good for the garden*

---

#### 10. I should probably cut the grass.
- Subject: *I*
- Predicate: *should probably cut the grass*

"Probably" is an adverb modifying the verb "cut", so it's part of the predicate.
