What's Missing? Subjects and Predicates

Can you uncover what’s missing in this subject and predicate 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 having students engage in critical thinking, this worksheet helps strengthen students’ understanding of what makes up a complete sentence. As students work toward writing longer, more complex writing pieces, an understanding of complete sentences is crucial.
