Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students identify the simple subject (the main word or words telling who or what a sentence is about) in short declarative sentences.

  • Students identify the simple predicate (the main word or words telling what the subject is or does) in short declarative sentences.

  • Students apply the same subject/predicate definition consistently across repeated practice sets to build fluency.

Teaching tips

  • Assign one worksheet per day or as a warm-up, since each page is a short, self-contained set of ten sentences.

  • Work through the five simple-subject worksheets before the five simple-predicate worksheets, matching the file's built-in order.

  • Provide a corrected key before students self-check. The simple-subject keys include determiners such as The in The sun and My in My sister; the simple subjects are sun and sister.
