Predicate/Subject Plus Types of Sentences Practice

Predicate/Subject Plus Types of Sentences Practice

More Practice...

Most of you have a good understanding of subjects and predicates. You are also getting the hang of identifying them in simple sentences.

But, when it comes to more complex sentences, you seem to be getting stuck.

So, let's do some more practice! Because, practice makes perfect (or, nearly perfect that is).

Multiple Choice

What is the SUBJECT of the sentence below?

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

• Privet Drive

• Mr. and Mrs. Dursley

• proud

• normal

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley are the subject of the sentence because they are they ones doing the action in the sentence.

This is important to remember when there may be multiple nouns or pronouns in a sentence!

Multiple Choice

What is the PREDICATE of the sentence below?

Remember that the predicate is the action, or verb of the sentence.

Sometimes, the predicate can be a phrase.
