Description
Every complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate, and this writing predicates worksheet gives young writers a fun way to practice the second half. The predicate tells what the subject does, so students read a short subject such as “The little bunny” and then write their own predicate to finish the sentence. It is a simple, hands-on way to see how sentences are built.
About This Worksheet
This 2nd grade grammar worksheet opens with a worked example that shows a subject and a predicate side by side. In Part A, students write a predicate on the line after five different subjects, so every child creates five sentences of their own. In Part B, students read four short parts of sentences and decide whether each one is a subject or a predicate, then write the word on the line. A colorful kite picture connects to the Part B items and keeps the page friendly.
What’s Included
- A worked example of a subject and a predicate
- Five sentences to finish with a predicate
- Four subject or predicate sorting items
- An answer key with sample predicates
Why Kids Love It
First, students get to be creative, because there is no single right predicate in Part A. Second, the short subjects are easy to read, so children can focus on the grammar instead of hard words. Third, Part B checks that they can tell the two sentence parts apart, which builds a strong base for writing complete sentences.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model one sentence aloud before students begin, and ask, “What did the subject do?” After they finish, have children read their new sentences to a partner and check that each one makes sense. Use the writing predicates worksheet as a warm-up, a literacy center, or homework, and pair it with a subject activity so students practice both halves. It also works as a quick 2nd grade subject and predicate worksheet for review.
