Here's how it works:
* Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea the sentence is about.
* Predicate: The part of the sentence that tells us something about the subject.
Let's look at an example:
Sentence: The dog barks loudly.
* Subject: The dog
* Predicate: barks loudly
The predicate "barks loudly" tells us what the dog is doing.
The predicate often includes a verb, but it can also include other words that describe the action, state of being, or condition of the subject.
