Sorting Boxes

Compound Subjects #6

Worksheet Description

This Compound Subjects worksheet is a classification activity where students are tasked with sorting given words and phrases into two categories: Simple Subjects and Compound Subjects. The worksheet lists a mix of singular nouns and noun phrases, some of which consist of a single entity, while others are combinations of entities joined by a conjunction. Students must determine whether each item is a single, standalone subject or a compound subject composed of multiple elements. They will then place each item in the appropriate box based on this distinction.

The worksheet’s objective is to teach students how to differentiate between simple and compound subjects within sentences. It reinforces the concept that a simple subject consists of only one main noun or pronoun, while a compound subject contains two or more nouns or pronouns connected by conjunctions such as ‘and’ or ‘or.’ Through this exercise, students practice recognizing the subject structure, which is essential for proper sentence construction and understanding subject-verb agreement. This foundational grammar skill is important for students’ writing and reading comprehension.
