Handout Packet
Page 3 #6 to #15
Identify the subject and predicate in each of the following sentences.

Example:

My grandmother plays mah-jongg with my friends and me every Saturday.

The subject is "My grandmother".

The predicate is "plays mah-jongg with my friends and me every Saturday".

The sweet spot is between the word "grandmother" and "plays" because it's where the verb starts.
