Subject and Predicate Identification for 5th Grade
A practice set of sentence-analysis tasks for 5th graders that builds the ability to find complete subjects and complete predicates, including compound subjects and predicates. It uses a short "Remember" reference, a worked example, and a table where students record each sentence's parts, making it well suited to independent practice or a short grammar block.
“5.11.D.i simple and compound sentences”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as a 20-30 minute independent or partner practice after a brief mini-lesson on complete subjects and predicates, pairing it with the unit on simple and compound sentences (5.11.D.i).
- Discussion question: How can you tell the difference between a compound subject and a compound predicate in a sentence like "The dog and cat ran and played"?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them first underline the verb, then ask "who or what is doing this?" to locate the complete subject before filling in the table.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to rewrite several sentences as compound sentences with two independent clauses, identifying the subject and predicate of each clause.
- Estimated time: about 25 minutes for the full set, plus a few minutes for review and correction.
