Here's a breakdown:
* Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about.
* Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells what the subject does or is.
Example:
* The dog barks.
* Subject: The dog
* Predicate: Barks
A clause can be a complete sentence or a part of a longer sentence.
Types of Clauses:
* Independent clause: A complete sentence that can stand alone.
* Dependent clause: A group of words with a subject and predicate that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. It depends on an independent clause for its meaning.
