Read each section's instructions carefully before answering. This worksheet will help you practice identifying subjects and predicates in sentences.
Every complete sentence has two main parts: a subject and a predicate.
The **subject** tells *who* or *what* the sentence is about.
The **predicate** tells *what the subject does* or *what is said about the subject*.
Read each sentence. Identify the underlined part as either the **subject** or the **predicate**.
1. The quick brown fox over the lazy dog.
2. ran quickly to catch the bus.
3. My best friend loves to read mystery novels.
4. played their favorite song on the radio.
For each sentence, underline the **simple subject** once and the **simple predicate** (verb) twice. Then, draw a box around the **complete subject** and circle the **complete predicate**.
1. The tall, ancient tree swayed gently in the wind.
2. Many colorful birds sang sweet melodies in the morning.
3. My younger sister baked delicious cookies for the party.
Choose the correct simple subject for the following sentence:
1. The fast red car sped down the highway.

2. Which of the following is the complete predicate of the sentence?
