Subject and Object Practice

Subject and Object Practice

Read each sentence carefully. Follow the instructions for each section.

The subject of a sentence is who or what the sentence is about. It is usually a noun or a pronoun. The subject does the action in the sentence.

Example: The dog barks loudly. (The dog is the subject.)

Underline the subject in each sentence.

1. My mom reads a book.  

2. The birds sing in the tree.  

3. He runs very fast.  

4. A big cat sleeps on the rug.  

The object of a sentence is who or what receives the action of the verb. It is also usually a noun or a pronoun.

Example: The dog chased the ball. (The ball is the object. It receives the action of 'chased'.)

Circle the object in each sentence.

1. She eats an apple.  

2. We play soccer.  

3. My dad built a house.  

4. He saw a blue car.  

Read the sentence. Write the subject and the object on the lines below.

The girl picked flowers.

Subject:  

Object:  

My brother threw the ball.

Subject:  

Object:  

Which word is the subject in the sentence: 'The small dog barked at the squirrel.'

Which word is the object in the sentence: 'Mom baked a delicious cake.'

Read each sentence. Decide if the statement about the sentence is True or False.

1. In the sentence 'The boy kicked the ball,' 'boy' is the subject.

2. In the sentence 'My sister drew a picture,' 'picture' is the subject.
