Teaching Notes
Ask "What does the subject do or be?" The main verb is the simple predicate. Helping verbs (is, are, was, will) are not the simple predicate on their own.
Vocabulary
Common Mistakes
- Writing the full verb phrase (e.g. "was flying") instead of the main verb ("flying")
- Picking an adverb near the verb instead of the verb itself
Extension Activities
- Act out the predicates.
- Find verbs in action stories.
- Draw pictures of the actions.
Parent Tip
Ask your child to name the action in sentences you read together.
