Simple Subjects & Predicates Are Simple... Right?

In class we're working on finding the simple subject and the simple predicate in a sentence. Remember, the simple subject is a noun or pronoun. It will never be found within a prepositional phrase, and it can be compound. The simple predicate is the verb in the sentence. It can be a verb phrase or compound.

The following are some websites that contain quizzes and games on this concept! Give 'em a whirl!

    lol =D the picture definitely makes you look like you are deep in thought Mrs.Simas. I'd have to say pink lemonade is definitely better than yellow.

    P.S: Look a pig! <(0(oo)0)>
