✔ Explanation Summary:
- The subject is always the noun or noun phrase that performs the action or is being described.
- The predicate includes the verb and all other words that describe the action or state of the subject.
- Even if the subject is long (e.g., "The car with the flat tire"), it's still one unit and the subject.
- Compound subjects (like "Kyle, Billy, and Justin") are treated as multiple subjects together.
