Connect and Teach

We have learned that sentences are made up of subjects, or who the sentence is about, and predicates, or what the subject is doing. Complete sentences need a subject and a predicate.

Practice naming the subject and predicate aloud in each of the sentences below:

• The frogs croak loudly.
• Mei Lei hears the noisy frogs.
• Her parents show her the tadpoles.

For additional practice, you may complete the Review Subjects and Predicates handout
