Strong Starts, Clear Meaning: Subjects and Predicates for Class 5 

This Class 5 grammar worksheet on Subjects and Predicates helps students understand how every complete sentence is built. The subject tells who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells what the subject does. Through a sequence of engaging activities—fill in the blanks, MCQs, sentence rewriting, a descriptive passage, and a final paragraph-writing task—learners master the skill of forming clear, complete, and meaningful sentences. 

From pages 3–5 of the worksheet, students identify complete subjects like The tall boy, simple subjects like kite, complete predicates like stopped at the gate, and simple predicates like smiled. On page 8, they explore a vivid garden scene using words such as breeze, tiny squirrel, colourful ball, petals, and gardening tools, all helping them understand how subjects and predicates work naturally in descriptive writing.

This worksheet is perfect for developing strong grammar foundations and improving sentence construction for academic writing, creative expression, and communication.
