Description
A compound predicate tells two or more things that the same subject does, and learning to spot one is a big step toward writing longer, smoother sentences. This compound predicates sentences worksheet gives third grade students focused practice with predicates that share a single subject. Students see how two short, choppy sentences about the same person or thing can be joined into one clear sentence with the word and.
This 3rd grade sentences worksheet is organized into three parts that build on each other. In Part A, students underline the compound predicate in five sentences. In Part B, they combine four pairs of short sentences into one longer sentence. In Part C, they look at the picture, write an original sentence that has two verbs, and circle both verbs. Use it as guided practice after a grammar mini-lesson, as morning work, as homework, or as a quick review before a writing assessment.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 10 compound predicate activities in three parts: underline, combine, and write
There are three reasons this compound predicates sentences worksheet helps children learn. First, it moves from recognizing to producing: students identify a compound predicate before they are asked to build one, so the skill is scaffolded instead of rushed. Second, the sentence-combining practice in Part B builds writing fluency, because students feel the difference between two choppy sentences and one smooth one. Third, the picture prompt in Part C asks students to apply the rule in their own words, which shows a teacher right away whether the concept really transferred.
Teachers and parents can stretch this skill in fun ways. Try a sentence-combining relay where partners each write a short sentence about the same subject and then race to join them with and. Hunt for compound predicates in a favorite chapter book and mark them with highlighter tape. Play “and what else?” at the dinner table, where each person adds a second verb to a sentence someone else started. You can also have students act out two actions in a row and then write the sentence that describes exactly what they did.
