Complete Subject Predicate Practice Activities
Printable Class 5 grammar worksheets that help children identify and separate the complete subject and complete predicate in sentences.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 5 Grammar and Writing worksheets help children understand how every complete sentence has two main parts: the complete subject and the complete predicate. Children practise finding who or what the sentence is about, then identifying everything the sentence says about that subject.
The printable activities include sentence marking, underlining, sorting, matching, and rewriting tasks. They move beyond single-word subjects and verbs so learners can work with longer noun phrases, modifiers, helping verbs, and descriptive predicate details.
In this Complete Subject Predicate set, children learn that the complete subject includes all the words that name the person, place, thing, or idea the sentence is about. In “The small brown puppy near the gate barked loudly,” the complete subject is “The small brown puppy near the gate.” The complete predicate includes the verb and all words that tell what the subject does, has, or is: “barked loudly.”
How the practice progresses
The worksheets begin with clear sentences where the split is easy to see. They then include longer Class 5 sentences with adjectives, phrases, compound ideas, and extra details. Children may underline the subject once and the predicate twice, draw a dividing line, choose the correct part, or rewrite sentences after separating them. This progression helps them see that the simple subject and verb are only part of the larger sentence structure.
Parent routine at home
Use one short routine: read the sentence aloud, ask “Who or what is this mainly about?”, bracket that whole part, then ask “What is being said about it?” for the predicate. After a worksheet, ask your child to create two original sentences about home, school, or a favourite game and divide each one. This makes the grammar less mechanical and shows how sentence parts work in real writing.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for sentence lessons, grammar revision, morning work, small-group support, or notebook practice. The sheets also work well after lessons on sentence fragments, run-ons, nouns, verbs, and sentence expansion. For peer checking, students can compare where they placed the subject-predicate line and explain their reasoning using grammar vocabulary.
Common errors to watch for
Many children mark only the simple subject, such as “puppy,” instead of the complete subject, “The small brown puppy near the gate.” Others leave helping verbs out of the predicate or split the sentence before a describing phrase that still belongs to the subject. Encourage children not to divide the sentence just because there is a comma; they must first find the main noun group and the full verb idea.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities give repeated, focused practice without mixing too many grammar skills at once. A useful child-friendly strategy is: “Find the star, then find the story.” The star is the complete subject; the story is the complete predicate. This simple reminder helps Class 5 learners read the whole sentence carefully before marking their answer.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a simple subject and a complete subject?
The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun, such as “puppy.” The complete subject includes the simple subject and all words that describe or identify it, such as “The small brown puppy near the gate.”
What should my child include in the complete predicate?
The complete predicate should include the verb and all the words that tell what the subject does, has, or is. Helping verbs, objects, adverbs, and extra predicate details should stay with the predicate.
Are these worksheets suitable for Class 5 revision?
Yes. They are useful for Class 5 learners who have already studied basic subjects and predicates and now need practice with longer, more detailed sentences.
How can I help if my child keeps splitting the sentence in the wrong place?
Ask your child to first find the full “who or what” part of the sentence. Then ask what is being said about that part. This two-question method usually helps them place the subject-predicate division correctly.
Can teachers use these worksheets with sentence writing lessons?
Yes. Teachers can use them before or after sentence expansion activities so students see how adding adjectives, phrases, and details changes the complete subject or complete predicate.

Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
