When this is useful
Identify subjects and predicates
Clear sentences give students focused practice naming the complete subject and the complete predicate.
Simple vs complete parts
The choose formats build the difference between the one-word simple subject and the full complete subject.
Split a sentence
The split format asks students to divide a sentence into its subject and predicate with a clear line.
Match and build sentences
The match and complete formats have students pair subjects with predicates to build complete sentences.
ELL and language support
Identify and choose formats help multilingual learners see how every sentence has two clear parts.
Your own sentences
Paste your own sentences so the practice matches your class writing or a recent lesson.
Examples to try
An identify-the-subject worksheet
Use the identify-subject format so students write the complete subject of each sentence.
An identify-the-predicate worksheet
Use the identify-predicate format so students write the complete predicate of each sentence.
A split-the-sentence worksheet
Use the split format so students divide each sentence into subject and predicate.
A choose-the-simple-subject worksheet
Use the choose-subject format so students pick the one-word simple subject from four choices.
A match subject-to-predicate worksheet
Use the match format so students pair each subject with the predicate that completes it.
A worksheet from your own sentences
Paste sentences, or simple subject | predicate lines, to match your class.
Tips for better results
Find the verb first
The predicate begins at the main verb, so finding the verb shows where the subject ends.
Ask who or what
The complete subject answers who or what the sentence is about, including all of its describing words.
Simple means one word
The simple subject is the main noun and the simple predicate is the main verb, without the extra words.
Start with the split
Beginner difficulty keeps the subject before the predicate so the dividing line is easy to see.
Print the answer key separately
The PDF puts the answer key on its own page, so you can keep it apart from the student copy.
Pair it with grammar tools
Follow with a sentence fragments worksheet or a run-on sentences worksheet for more sentence practice.
How the subject and predicate worksheet generator works
Built-in worksheets use original, classroom-safe sentences written for this tool. Each item is a clean sentence whose subject comes before its predicate, with the complete subject, simple subject, complete predicate, and simple predicate all named, so the answer key is always defensible. The complete subject tells who or what the sentence is about, the complete predicate tells what they did, and the simple subject and simple predicate are the main noun and main verb — and each sentence splits one clear way, so there is never more than one right answer.
Choose-the-simple-subject and choose-the-simple-predicate questions place the correct word beside three real words from the same sentence, so there is exactly one correct answer with no duplicate choices. The identify, split, match, and complete formats give students room to write, with the answer key showing the complete and simple parts or the matched sentence. Compound subjects and predicates are flagged and skip the single-word choices to stay clear. Custom items let you bring your own; the simple subject and predicate are taken as given or safely inferred from clear structure only, and when a custom item lacks the data a format needs it uses a teacher-check sample instead of inventing one.
