To solve this problem, we need to identify whether each part of the sentence is the
subject or the
predicate. Let's break it down step by step:
Definitions:
-
Subject: The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that is performing the action or being described in the sentence. It answers the question "Who?" or "What?"
-
Predicate: The predicate describes what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject. It answers the question "What happened?" or "What is happening?"
Analysis of Each Sentence Part:
1.
