The subject is the person or thing performing the action in the sentence and all of the words that modify that actor.
The subject controls the agreement of verbs and pronouns.
Nouns, pronouns, and gerunds (-ing verbs acting like nouns) can be subjects.

The predicate is the action or state of the actor or subject of the sentence.
Objects and verbs (and any phrases describing them) together make up the predicate.
Wolves eat rabbits. Swimming is fun. I am tired today.
Direct Object The thing receiving
the action◦ The car hit the tree.◦ I baked a cake.
Indirect Object To or for whom the
action is done◦ I baked my dad a
cake.
Predicate Nominative [noun]◦ In sentences with
linking verbs Dad is home.
Predicate Adjective◦ In sentences with
linking verbs Dad is happy.

Adjective Phrases [modify a noun]◦ [The sometimes-mysterious] girl became my
friend.
All clauses have a subject and a predicate
