This quiz, Subject and Predicates, looks at descriptions. When writing a sentence, the subject tells us about whom or what the sentence is about. On the other hand, the predicate tells us something about the subject. Here are some examples:
For each sentence below, determine if the underlined word or words is the subject, the predicate, the predicate nominative or the predicate adjective.
1 .
Weston was elected Class President.
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb. It is used to further describe or rename the subject in a sentence. In this sentence “Weston” is the subject. The linking verb is “was.” “Class President” is further describing Weston. It is also a way of renaming Weston. As such, Answer (c) is the correct answer
2 .
Jane is going to be married on Saturday.
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
We know that a predicate tells us something about the subject of the sentence. In this sentence, “Jane” is the subject so what do we learn about Jane? We learn that she is “going to be married.” “Going to be married” is the predicate of this sentence making Answer (b) the correct answer
3 .
The surgeon operated on me for three hours.
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
As a predicate tells us something about the subject of the sentence, we need to locate the subject. In this instance, the subject is the “surgeon.” Next we need to find out something about the surgeon. What we learn is that the surgeon “operated on me”. The “operated on me” is the predicate of this sentence so Answer (b) is the correct answer
4 .
Michael is the new champion!
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
A predicate nominative is a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb. In this sentence “Michael” is the subject. The linking verb is “is” as it connects “Michael” with “new champion.” As “new champion” further describes Michael it is a predicate nominative. Therefore, Answer (c) is the correct answer
5 .
They went to see Wicked at the new theater.
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
Wicked is a musical play and it is the main subject of this sentence. Answer (a) is correct
6 .
The school bus was late.
subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
A predicate adjective is an adjective that modifies the subject of a sentence while linking the subject to the adjective using a linking verb. In this sentence the subject is the “school bus”. The linking verb is “was.” The “school bus” is then modified by being “late”. Therefore, in this sentence, “late” is a predicate adjective. Answer (d) is correct
7 .

subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
Bees are the main subject of this sentence, making Answer (a) the correct answer
8 .

subject
predicate
predicate nominative
predicate adjective
A predicate adjective is an adjective that modifies the subject of a sentence while linking the subject to the adjective using a linking verb. In this sentence the subject is the “Bible”. The linking verb is “is.” The “Bible” is then modified by being “old”. Therefore, in this sentence, “old” is a predicate adjective so Answer (d) is correct
9 .

subject
predicate

predicate adjective
The museum is the main subject of this sentence. Therefore, Answer (a) is correct
10 .

subject
predicate
