Sentence Sense: Subjects and Predicates Made Easy for Grade 3  

This Grade 3 worksheet helps students understand the two main parts of a sentence—subjects and predicates—so they can form clear, complete, and meaningful sentences. Created especially for young learners, it explains how the subject tells who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells what the subject does or what is said about it. With guided practice and gradual progression, students learn to identify, fix, and confidently use subjects and predicates in both sentences and short paragraphs.  

Why Subjects and Predicates Matter in Grammar?  

Learning about subjects and predicates is important for Grade 3 students because every complete sentence needs both parts to make sense, subjects help identify the main focus of a sentence, predicates explain actions or details about the subject, and understanding this concept helps children avoid sentence fragments and write more clearly and confidently.  

What’s Inside This Worksheet?  

This worksheet includes five well-structured activities to strengthen sentence-building skills:  

✏️ Exercise 1 – Underline and Circle  
Students underline the subject and circle the predicate in each sentence, helping them clearly see how sentences are formed. Example: The little boy *plays in the park*.  

🧠 Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice Identification  
Students read sentences and choose the correct option that shows the subject, reinforcing recognition and accuracy.  

✍️ Exercise 3 – Fix or Complete the Sentence  
Learners fix missing subjects or complete predicates using given prompts, encouraging logical sentence construction.  

📝 Exercise 4 – Fill in the Blanks (Passage-Based)  
Students complete a short paragraph by filling in suitable words, applying subjects and predicates in a real reading context.  

📖 Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing  
Students write a paragraph on A Visit to the Park, using clear subjects and predicates throughout their writing.
