Subject and Predicate Worksheet Generator

Print free subject and predicate worksheets for grades 2–5: underline the subject and circle the predicate, write S or P for the underlined part, draw lines to match subjects with predicates, or finish a sentence that is missing one. Older students can circle the simple subject and underline the verb, or sort compound subjects from compound predicates. Pick a level and how many sentences, with an answer key on a second page.

Start grades 2–3 with underline-and-circle or matching, then S or P and finish the sentence. Grades 4–5 sentences have longer subjects (“The girl with the red backpack”) and helping verbs; move on to the simple subject and verb, then compound subjects and predicates.
