The subject is the main part of a sentence that tells us who or what the sentence is about.
The predicate gives information about the subject by explaining what the subject does or what happens.
Example:
The confident speaker addressed the audience.
Subject: The confident speaker
Predicate: addressed the audience
This worksheet is designed for Grade 7 students who are studying more advanced sentence structures. It is also helpful for teachers and parents who want to help students improve their writing and grammar skills.
Learning the subject and predicate helps students:
Write clear, structured, and meaningful sentences
Improve reading comprehension
Develop strong writing and speaking abilities
Prepare for advanced grammar topics like complex and compound sentences
The confident speaker
performed the experiment successfully
The committee

We are confident
He is responsible
In complex sentences, the subject and predicate form the main clause of the sentence. Even when extra clauses are added, the main subject tells who or what the sentence is about, and the main predicate explains the main action. Understanding this helps students correctly structure longer and more advanced sentences without confusion.
Grade 7 is a stage where students are expected to write paragraphs, essays, and reports. Mastering subject and predicate ensures their sentences are grammatically correct, clearly expressed, and logically structured. This skill also improves performance in exams and creative writing tasks.
A simple predicate includes only the main verb, while a complete predicate includes the verb along with all the words that give more information about the action, such as objects or descriptions. Learning this difference helps students write more detailed and correct sentences.
Students can find the subject by locating the main verb and then asking “Who?” or “What?” is performing that action. The word or group of words that answers the question is the subject. With practice, students become faster and more accurate in identifying subjects.
Common mistakes include missing verbs, incomplete predicate phrases, and confusing objects with predicates. These errors can make sentences unclear or grammatically incorrect. Regular reading, writing practice, and grammar exercises help students avoid these mistakes and write better sentences.
