Learning Objective

I can practice combining subjects and predicates.

Today's Lesson

Today we will learn how to practice combining subjects and predicates. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.

The predicate tells what the subject does or is. It includes the verb and any other words that tell about the action or state. To find the predicate, ask: "What does the subject do?" or "What is the subject?" For example, in "The dog runs fast," the predicate is "runs fast." In "The flower is pretty," the predicate is "is pretty." Every sentence needs a predicate to be complete!

Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!

Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
