Subject:
* The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
* It is usually a noun or pronoun.
* It tells us who or what is performing the action or being described.
Predicate:
* The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us something about the subject.
* It includes the verb and any objects, complements, or modifiers that describe the action or state of being.
Example:
* The dog (subject) barks loudly. (predicate)
* Subject: The dog
* Predicate: barks loudly
How to identify the subject and predicate:
1. Ask "who or what?" about the sentence: The answer will be the subject.
2. The rest of the sentence, after the subject, is the predicate.
Here are some more examples:
* The children (subject) played in the park. (predicate)
* My favorite color (subject) is blue. (predicate)
* The sun (subject) is shining brightly. (predicate)
