Where’s The Subject?

Worksheet Description

The Simple & Compound Subjects worksheet is a grammatical exercise designed for students to practice identifying the subjects of sentences. The worksheet lists ten sentences, and the task is for students to underline the subject in each one. These subjects can be either simple (a single noun or pronoun) or compound (two or more nouns or pronouns connected by a conjunction). The sentences vary to provide examples of both types of subjects, giving students the opportunity to differentiate between them.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students how to recognize and understand the difference between simple and compound subjects in sentence structures. It helps students to identify the key component of the sentence—the part about which something is being said. By distinguishing between simple and compound subjects, students can better understand how subjects can be constructed and how they function within the context of a sentence. This foundational grammatical skill is important for reading comprehension and for writing coherent and varied sentences.
