Read each sentence carefully. Identify the subject (who or what is doing the action) and the object (who or what is receiving the action).
A sentence usually has two main parts: a subject and a predicate. The **subject** is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb. It tells us 'who' or 'what' the sentence is about. The **object** is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. It answers the question 'who?' or 'what?' after the verb. **Example:** The dog chased the squirrel. Subject: The dog (who chased?) Object: the squirrel (chased what?)
Underline the subject in each sentence.
1. The birds sang a beautiful song.
2. My sister painted a colorful picture.
3. The strong wind blew down the tree.
4. We watched a funny movie.
Underline the object in each sentence.
1. The chef cooked a delicious meal.
2. She read an interesting book.
3. My dad fixed the broken toy.
4. The students played soccer.
Match the sentence part on the left with its correct identification on the right.
