FAQ
How do students identify whether a subject or predicate is missing?⌄
Students ask two questions: 'Who or what is this about?' (to check for a subject) and 'What does the subject do or what is stated about it?' (to check for a predicate) — if either question can't be answered, that part is missing.
What types of fragments typically result from missing subjects?⌄
Participial phrases are a common example — 'Running down the street' — where students describe an action without ever naming who is performing it.
How can this worksheet be used as a peer-editing tool?⌄
Students exchange their own writing and hunt for sentences that are missing a subject or predicate, then suggest corrections — turning a grammar worksheet skill into a practical editing habit.
