Explanation:
- In each sentence, the
subject is the one performing the action (the doer).
- The
predicate contains the verb and describes what the subject is doing.
- This exercise helps students identify the core parts of a sentence, which is essential for understanding grammar and sentence structure.
✔ All sentences follow the pattern:
[Subject] + [Predicate].
