Simple Sentences

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a grammatical exercise that focuses on diagramming simple sentences to identify their basic elements. Students are instructed to write the subject and predicate of given sentences on a provided line and then draw a line between them. An example is prominently displayed to illustrate how the diagram should look, with the subject “Ben” and the predicate “daydreams” separated by a line. The worksheet consists of sentences that follow a similar structure, allowing students to practice the diagramming technique.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to visually break down a sentence into its main components: the subject and the predicate. By doing this, students learn to recognize the part of the sentence that names who or what the sentence is about (the subject) and the part that tells something about the subject (the predicate). This activity helps in reinforcing the understanding of sentence structure. It is an important skill for developing clarity in writing and improving reading comprehension.
