Subject & Predicate

Sentences are divided into two parts: the subject, which is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate, which is everything else 

(verbs, adjectives, prepositional phrases, etc.).
 When break down a sentence the subject is what (in other cases whom)

 the sentence is concentrated on. The predicate is what that is doing or

 is. This tells us that the predicate is verb or modifier of the sentence.

 The subject, on the other hand, is noun or pronoun that appears within

 the sentence. A good way to identify the subject is to ask yourself 

"who"or "what" is the sentence about. To identify the predicate just look

 for an action that is taking place in the sentence. This skill will help us 

write clean and coherent sentences that our audience will grasp easily.

 A sentence is not a complete thought if it lacks either of these parts. 

As we bolster our arsenal as a quality writer will learn to master the use 

of both of these components in our sentences.

DIRECTIONS: Read each sentence below. Identify the complete subject and the complete predicate. 
Then draw a line between the complete subject and the complete predicate.
