Subject/Predicate Song




During a recent faculty workshop about Multiple Intelligences we were asked to create songs using familiar tunes about given curricular areas. The group to which I was assigned wrote a few tunes for English/Grammar topics. The following is one:

Sung to the tune of "A Tisket, a Tasket, a Green and Yellow Basket"

A subject, a predicate-
These are quite important!
Combine the two, and you will see
That you have formed a sentence.

The subject, the subject
Is a noun or a pronoun.
Who or what it usually tells,
And that is how you'll find it.

The predicate, the predicate
It tells about the subject,
What it is or what it does,
A verb and all its helpers.

The subject, the predicate
Together form a sentence.
Write them both then punctuate
VOILA! You have a sentence.
