About this resource
Description
Every complete sentence has two parts: a subject that tells who or what, and a predicate that tells what the subject does. This identifying predicates worksheet gives 2nd graders focused practice finding the complete predicate in simple sentences, so they can see exactly how a sentence is built.
Students start with a worked example, then read four sentences and write the complete predicate of each one on the line below it. Next, they look at four short predicates and decide whether the detail in each one tells where or when the action happened. Use it as a grammar warm-up, a literacy center, homework or a quick check after a lesson on sentence parts.
What’s Included
- A worked example that models finding the predicate
- Four sentences with a writing line for each complete predicate
- Four predicates to label as telling where or when
- A full answer key on the last page
Why It Helps Kids
First, writing the whole predicate makes children separate the action part of a sentence from the naming part, which is the base of good sentence writing. Second, sorting details into where and when shows kids that a predicate can carry extra information, which helps them write sentences that say more. Third, this 2nd grade subject and predicate worksheet keeps the sentences short and familiar, so students can focus on structure instead of hard words.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before using the identifying predicates worksheet, say a sentence aloud and have children clap when they hear the action. Write a few sentences on the board and draw a line between the subject and the predicate together. Afterward, ask students to add a where or when detail to one of their own sentences, then trade with a partner to find each other’s predicates.
