Noun Functions and Gerunds Review for 7th Grade
By Gertrude K.
A 10-question grammar practice set that reviews gerunds, subjects, direct objects, predicate nominatives, and objects of prepositions for 7th graders. It opens with a quick-reference box defining each noun function, then asks students to identify the function of a bolded word in each sentence using multiple-choice answers.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a warm-up or short review block (about 15-20 minutes) before a grammar unit or as a formative check after a mini-lesson on sentence functions.
- Discussion question: How can you tell whether a gerund like "swimming" is the subject or a predicate nominative when it appears in a sentence?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them underline the verb first, then ask whether the bolded word receives the action, follows a linking verb, or follows a preposition before choosing an answer.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write two original sentences that use a gerund in two different functions and label each one.
- Estimated time: about 15-20 minutes for independent completion, plus a few minutes for whole-class answer review.
