Rewrite As Two

Worksheet Description

The Simple & Compound Subjects worksheet is a grammar exercise designed to help students understand the difference between simple and compound subjects within sentences. The worksheet provides sentences that contain compound subjects and instructs students to rewrite them as two separate sentences, each with a simple subject. This requires students to split the compound subject and ensure that the verb in each new sentence agrees with its new, simple subject. The task helps students practice breaking down more complex sentence structures into simpler components.

The worksheet is teaching students to identify compound subjects, which consist of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by a conjunction, and to understand how they function in a sentence. It also educates students on subject-verb agreement, reinforcing the rule that a verb must agree with its subject in number. By rewriting sentences with compound subjects into sentences with simple subjects, students enhance their ability to analyze sentence construction. This skill is fundamental to writing clearly and is essential for students’ development in English grammar.
