Simple Sentences: Subject and Predicate Worksheets for Grade 2

📚 Topic Summary

A simple sentence tells a complete thought. It has two main parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject is who or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells what the subject does or is.

For example, in the sentence "The cat sleeps," the subject is "The cat" and the predicate is "sleeps." Understanding these parts helps you write clear and complete sentences!
