P. 35
The underlined part of each sentence tells us what the subject does.
The part of the sentence that tells us more about the action the subject does is called
the predicate. The predicate contains the verb.
Identify the underlined part and colour the correct option.
1. The owl flew away. subject predicate
2. The butterfly flew over the flowers. subject predicate
3. Shriyansh hopped on to the swing. subject predicate
4. My father enjoys going to the cinema. subject predicate
5. I love watching cartoons. subject predicate
6. The policeman knocked at the door. subject predicate
7. The moon was shining brightly. subject predicate
8. The parrot sang beautifully. subject predicate
Time to learn new words
Some words tell us more about actions. For example,
• Rima called loudly, ‘UNCLE!’
(How did Rima call? = loudly)
• Rima will go to the fair tomorrow.
(When will Rima go to the fair? = tomorrow)
• Rima saw a man nearby.
(Where did Rima see the man? = nearby)
In these sentences, the highlighted words in the sentences give us information about
how, when or where an action happens.
Words that describe verbs are called adverbs. Adverbs give us information
about how, when or where an action happens.
