Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a list of sentences and asks students to identify whether each has a simple or a compound subject. Students must read each sentence and determine the nature of the subject by analyzing if it involves one element (simple subject) or multiple elements (compound subject) performing the main action. They are then instructed to write the word “simple” or “compound” on the line provided next to each sentence, corresponding to the type of subject identified within it.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to distinguish between simple and compound subjects within sentences. It reinforces the concept that a simple subject consists of a single noun or pronoun, while a compound subject includes two or more nouns or pronouns connected by a conjunction. This skill is fundamental for understanding subject-verb agreement and for developing the ability to construct complex sentences. Moreover, it lays the groundwork for more advanced grammatical concepts that students will encounter as they progress in their studies.
