- Subject: Who or what the sentence is about (usually the person, animal, or thing doing the action).
- Predicate: What the subject is doing (the verb and any additional information).

In each sentence, we’ll identify:
- The subject (who/what) → mark in red
- The predicate (what they did) → mark in blue

> 💡 Tip: Always look for the main verb to find the predicate. The subject is usually before the verb (but not always — watch out for inverted sentences). In these sentences, all are simple declarative sentences, so the subject comes first.

If you're doing this on paper, use a red pen for subjects and blue for predicates. If it's digital, highlight or circle accordingly.
