Adding Second Subjects

Worksheet Description

The Expanding Sentences worksheet is a language exercise designed to teach students how to create compound subjects in sentences. It presents a list of sentences with simple subjects and predicates, and students are instructed to expand these by adding a second subject of their choice. The worksheet emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the verb agrees with the new, compound subject. This activity encourages students to think creatively to find subjects that can logically share the same action or state as the original subject.

This worksheet aims to enhance students’ grammatical skills by focusing on subject-verb agreement within the context of compound subjects. It helps students understand how to maintain correct verb forms when the subject of a sentence becomes plural due to the addition of another noun or pronoun. By completing this worksheet, students practice combining subjects to convey more information in a single sentence. The exercise also contributes to their ability to write more varied and complex sentences, improving their overall writing proficiency.
