1. He spends a lot of time working on his computer.

2. My father goes to office by car.

3. The children practice the piano every morning.

5. I met your dad yesterday.

6. He wants to go abroad.

 6) The farmers are plowing the field.

7) Billy Reynolds is an amazing baseball player.

3. We liked the last play of the game.

4. They were singing in the park.

Every complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate. The subject tells what the sentence is about. The predicate tells something about the subject. A simple subject is the subject without any descriptive words. A simple predicate is the verb in the predicate. Underline the simple subject and circle the simple predicate in each sentence below.

 Example: My mother read a book. 

1. The teacher graded the homework papers. 

2. John drove the car to the store. 

3. We liked the last play of the game. 

4. They were singing in the park. 

5. On Tuesday the happy children watched a movie. 

6. The scout troop met in the morning.

More Practice!. 

Hello sixth graders!  We are learning what subjects and predicates are. We are also learning how to change statements into questions. Now you can practice even more. Teacher will talk about this in the classroom.

Simple Subjects and Predicates
* Every sentence has two main parts: a simple subject and a simple predicate.
The simple subject of a sentence is the main word in the complete subject. It is always a
noun or a pronoun. Sometimes, the simple subject is also the complete subject.

Example: Most birds | can fly.
Example: They | can fly because they have wings.

The simple predicate is the complete verb within the complete predicate. The simple
predicate may be one or more words.

Example: Most birds | can fly.
Example: They | can fly because they have wings.
________________________________________________________________________
Directions: Draw a line between the complete subject and the complete predicate in the
following sentences. Then underline the simple subject and draw a box
around the simple predicate.

Example: David’s entire family | ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant last night.

1) Daniel can come with us to the movie.
2) Liz is my best friend.
3) The moon is shining bright.
4) Cassia is writing a letter.

Hello fourth Graders! We are studying the Modal Verbs. Here you have more information about what they are.

A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to. The modals and semi-modals in English are:

1. Can/could/be able to
2. May/might
3. Shall/should
4. Must/have to
5. Will/would
