To find the simple subject in a sentence, you need to identify the noun or pronoun that the sentence is mainly about. In this case, the sentence is "My first dog was afraid of thunderstorms." To determine the simple subject, remove any modifiers or prepositional phrases. "My" and "first" are both modifiers, and "of thunderstorms" is a prepositional phrase. Therefore, the simple subject is "dog."
Answer: a. dog
To find the complete predicate in a sentence, you need to identify the verb and any words or phrases that modify or complete the action of the verb. In the sentence "Your sister Erin wrote a fantastic essay about Paris," the verb is "wrote." The words "a fantastic essay about Paris" modify or complete the action of the verb.
Answer: c. wrote a fantastic essay about Paris
