About this resource
Description
A finding predicates worksheet helps students see how every complete sentence works. The subject tells who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells what the subject does or is. When fourth graders can spot the complete predicate, they write clearer sentences, fix fragments on their own, and understand how verbs and the words around them build meaning.
This printable 4th grade grammar page gives students three kinds of practice with the predicate of a sentence. First they read six sentences and underline the words that tell what the subject does. Next they copy the complete predicate of four more sentences onto a writing line. Last, they finish two sentences by writing a predicate of their own. Use it as a mini-lesson check, a morning warm-up, homework, or a quick review before a grammar quiz.
What’s Included
- Part A: six sentences where students underline the complete predicate
- Part B: four sentences where students write the predicate on the line below
- Part C: two sentence starters where students write their own predicate
- A full answer key with sample answers for the open-ended items
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it moves from finding to writing, so students practice the same idea at three levels of challenge. Second, the sentences use clear, everyday topics, so kids can focus on sentence parts instead of hard words. Third, writing their own predicates builds the habit of checking that every sentence has both a subject and a predicate, which helps with every writing assignment.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, read a sentence aloud and ask, “Who is this about, and what did they do?” Have students color the subject one color and the predicate another to see the two halves. After the page, pair this finding predicates worksheet with a 4th grade subject and predicate worksheet so kids can practice both parts. You can also let students trade their Part C sentences with a partner and check each other’s predicates.
