Frequently Asked Questions
The subject plays a very important role because it tells us who or what the sentence is about. Without a subject, a sentence would feel incomplete because the reader would not know who is performing the action. Learning to identify subjects helps students write clearer and more meaningful sentences, especially when they start using longer and more complex sentence structures.
The predicate gives information about what the subject is doing or what is happening in the sentence. It usually contains a verb and sometimes extra details like objects or descriptions. Without a predicate, the sentence would not make sense because the reader would not know what action is taking place or what is being described.
At this level, students begin to write longer paragraphs and essays. Understanding subject and predicate helps them avoid grammar mistakes, form clear ideas, and structure sentences properly. It also prepares them for learning advanced grammar topics such as clauses, phrases, and complex sentence formations in higher grades.
Students can practice by reading simple sentences and asking two basic questions: “Who or what is this sentence about?” to find the subject, and “What is happening?” to find the predicate. Regular practice with worksheets, reading short stories, and writing their own sentences can improve their skills over time.
A common mistake is writing incomplete sentences without a clear subject or predicate. Some students also confuse the subject with the object of the sentence. Practising regularly and reviewing feedback helps students understand these mistakes and learn how to correct them, leading to stronger writing skills.
