Make It Simple

Worksheet Description

The Simple & Compound Subjects worksheet is a grammatical exercise that helps students identify compound subjects within sentences and then deconstruct them into two separate sentences with simple subjects. It presents sentences that contain compound subjects, which are two or more subjects joined by a conjunction, describing the same verb. Students must recognize these compound subjects and then rewrite the original sentence into two distinct sentences, each with its own simple subject, while maintaining the original predicate.

This worksheet is teaching students to distinguish between compound and simple subjects and to understand how they can be separated to form simpler sentence structures. By rewriting sentences with compound subjects into two sentences with simple subjects, students practice breaking down complex ideas into more basic components. This exercise enhances their grammatical skills, particularly in identifying the core elements of a sentence. The activity also aids in improving students’ understanding of subject-verb agreement and sentence variety.
