Exercise 1: Subject and Predicate
Instructions:
Read the excerpt from “ Room with View --- and No People” by Nora Ephron.
We talk a lot about the fact that no one ever sits in the living room. It makes us all sad. The living
room is the prettiest room in the apartment. It has a fireplace and moldings. It has a slice of a view of the
river. It is a cheerful room furnished in light colors. It always looks neat and tidy.
Analyze
Underline the verbs talk and sits in the first sentence. Follow this guide and continue underlining all the verbs throughout the passage. (Note: One of them consists of more than one word.)
Then circle we and no one in the first sentence. These are the subjects of the verbs. They tell us who or what is talking and sitting. Again, follow this lead and continue circling all the subjects throughout the rest of the passage. (Some of the subjects consist of more than one word.)
In each sentence, use a slash ( / ) to separate the subject you have circled from the rest of the sentence. Example:
We / talk about a lot of things.
What you are doing is separating the subject from the predicate. The predicate in a simple sentence
is composed of the verb and what comes after it.
The reading passage above consists of eight sentences. Look at them closely and, with your peer (other students), make a list of the features that are common to all these sentences and also to all sentences in general (for example, one feature is that each sentence begins with a capital letter).
