Subjects and Predicates

Subjects and Predicates

Achieve English 9

Over the past two classes, we have covered subjects and predicates.

If you are still having trouble, take a look at the review from Miss Ford's YouTube page!

It's time to practice!

Multiple Choice

What is the subject in the following sentence?

George went to the store to get fruit.

• George

• went

• store

• fruit

George is the subject because it is who or what the sentence is about.

Store and fruit are both nouns, but they are receiving the action in the sentence, not doing the action.

Let's try another one!

Multiple Choice

What is the predicate in this sentence?

After the store, George went to the movie theater.

• After

• store

• went

• movie theater

Went is the predicate in this sentence. It is the action that George is doing.

How was that one? Let's try a few more.
