What's Missing? Subjects and Predicates

Can you uncover what’s missing in this first- and second-grade grammar worksheet? In this investigative grammar worksheet, first- and second-grade students will determine if each sentence is complete, or if it is missing a subject or a predicate. Then, students will put their creativity to use by completing sentences with their own ideas.

By engaging in critical thinking, this worksheet helps strengthen students’ understanding of what makes up a complete sentence. As students work toward writing longer, more complex pieces, understanding complete sentences supports stronger writing and reading comprehension skills.
