Simple sentences are the building blocks of all writing! They tell us who or what is doing something. Every simple sentence has a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a verb (what the subject is doing). For example, in the sentence "The dog barks," the subject is "dog" and the verb is "barks." Learning to identify these makes reading and writing so much easier!
Let's practice finding the subject and verb in kindergarten-friendly sentences. Remember, the subject is usually a noun (a person, place, thing, or idea), and the verb is usually an action word.
Match the word with its definition:
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Subject | A. An action word |
| 2. Verb | B. Tells who or what the sentence is about |
| 3. Sentence | C. A group of words that makes a complete thought |
| 4. Noun | D. A person, place, thing, or idea |
| 5. Action | E. Doing something |
Read the paragraph and fill in the missing words. Use the words in the box.

The ______ is in the tree. It ______. The ______ ______ over the box. ______ like to read books.
