Subject and Predicate
The subject of a sentence
tells who or what the sentence is about.
example: The green grapes grew on the vine.
The predicate of a
sentence tells what the subject does or is.
example: The bird sang a song.
The complete subject of a
sentence tells who or what the sentence is about.
example: The huge, green, slimy, alien from Mars waved to us.
The simple subject also tells who or what the sentence is about, but it’s usually just a single noun.
example: The alien from Mars waved to us.
The complete predicate of a
sentence tells what the subject does or is.
example: My mother cleaned the living room.
The simple predicate is the main
verb in the predicate that tells what the subject does.
example: My mother cleaned.
