Worksheet for teaching grammar concepts: subject, verb, and object, with interactive exercises and a colorful garden theme.

Let's solve this step-by-step based on the worksheet titled "Subject, Verb and Object".

🔹 Part 1: Identify the Subject, Verb, and Object in Each Sentence

We need to identify:
- Subject: Who or what is doing the action.
- Verb: The action being done.
- Object: What is receiving the action.

We'll go through each sentence and highlight them (as if shading in different colors).

---

#### 1. Dad grows the vegetables.
- Subject: Dad
- Verb: grows
- Object: the vegetables

✔ *Shade "Dad" (subject), "grows" (verb), "the vegetables" (object)*

---

#### 2. My family eat vegetables regularly.
- Subject: My family
- Verb: eat
- Object: vegetables

✔ *Shade accordingly*

> Note: "My family" is a collective noun treated as plural here, so verb is "eat".

---

#### 3. Jenna weeded the flower beds.
- Subject: Jenna
- Verb: weeded
- Object: the flower beds

✔ *Shade accordingly*

---

#### 4. The compost heap helps the worms.
- Subject: The compost heap
- Verb: helps
- Object: the worms

✔ *Shade accordingly*

---

#### 5. The wheelbarrow carries the potatoes.
- Subject: The wheelbarrow
- Verb: carries
- Object: the potatoes

✔ *Shade accordingly*

---

#### 6. Mum is harvesting the runner beans.
- Subject: Mum
- Verb: is harvesting
- Object: the runner beans

✔ *Shade accordingly*

---

#### 7. The rabbits gobbled up the cabbages.
- Subject: The rabbits
- Verb: gobbled up
- Object: the cabbages

✔ *Note: "gobbled up" is a phrasal verb, but "gobbled" is the main verb.*

---

#### 8. Lola and I are watering the lettuce.
- Subject: Lola and I
- Verb: are watering
- Object: the lettuce

✔ *Shade accordingly*

---

#### 9. Marco and Alice dug up some beetroot.
- Subject: Marco and Alice
- Verb: dug up
- Object: some beetroot

✔ *Again, "dug up" is a phrasal verb; "dug" is the main verb.*

🔹 Part 2: Replace Parts of the Sentences

Now we’ll change the subject, verb, or object to make new sensible sentences.

---

#### ✔ Change the subject:

1. Original: Dad grows the vegetables.
→ New: My friends grow the vegetables.
*(Using word bank: "my friends")*

2. Original: My family eat vegetables regularly.
→ New: The rabbits eat vegetables regularly.
*(From word bank: "the rabbits")*

3. Original: Jenna weeded the flower beds.
→ New: Mum weeded the flower beds.
*(From word bank: "Mum")*

---

#### ✔ Change the verb:

1. Original: The compost heap helps the worms.
→ New: The compost heap supports the worms.
*(From word bank: "supports")*

2. Original: The wheelbarrow carries the potatoes.
→ New: The wheelbarrow transports the potatoes.
*(From word bank: "transports")*

3. Original: Mum is harvesting the runner beans.
→ New: Mum is collecting the runner beans.
*(From word bank: "is collecting")*

---

#### ✔ Change the object:

1. Original: The rabbits gobbled up the cabbages.
→ New: The rabbits gobbled up some parsnips.
*(From word bank: "some parsnips")*

2. Original: I am watering the lettuce.
→ New: I am watering the herbs.
*(From word bank: "the herbs")*

3. Original: Marco dug up some beetroot.
→ New: Marco dug up Finlay? ✘ Not logical!
→ Let’s fix: Marco dug up some parsley. (or use word bank creatively)

Wait — let’s check the word bank again:

> my friends | the radishes | supports | some parsnips | Finlay
> transports | Mum | is collecting | the herbs

Hmm, “Finlay” seems like a name, not an object you can dig up. So maybe it’s a mistake?

But perhaps: Marco dug up Finlay → doesn’t make sense unless Finlay is a plant? Unlikely.

Alternatively, maybe it's meant to be used as a subject? But the instruction says change the object.

So better to use "the radishes" instead.

✔ Better option:
→ Marco dug up the radishes.
*(Uses "the radishes" from word bank)*

Or:
→ Marco dug up some parsnips.
*(Also valid)*

But since "some parsnips" is already used earlier, let’s pick "the radishes" for variety.
