Predicate Adjectives

Diagramming Sentences #14

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an educational tool focused on teaching students about predicate adjectives and how to diagram them in sentences. A predicate adjective is described as an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. The worksheet provides an example where the predicate adjective is placed on the same horizontal line as the subject and linking verb, separated by a short diagonal line. Students are instructed to diagram the subject, linking verb, predicate adjective, and any articles and adjectives present in a list of provided sentences.

The worksheet’s goal is to help students understand the use of predicate adjectives in sentences and visually represent their connection to the subject and linking verb. By diagramming sentences, students practice identifying predicate adjectives and their role in sentence structure. This reinforces their grammatical knowledge by showing the relationship between the subject and its description. The activity ultimately strengthens students’ sentence analysis skills and aids in their writing and reading comprehension.
