* Subject: The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It tells us *who* or *what* the sentence is about.
* Predicate: The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us something about the subject. It includes the verb and any other words that modify the verb. It tells us *what* the subject is doing or being.
Example:
* The dog barked loudly.
* Subject: The dog
* Predicate: barked loudly
How to find the subject and predicate:
1. Ask "who" or "what" about the sentence: This will help you identify the subject.
2. Find the verb: The verb is the action word or state of being.
3. The rest of the sentence after the verb is the predicate.
Note: Sometimes a sentence might have a compound subject (more than one noun) or a compound predicate (more than one verb).
