🔍 What are Subject and Predicate?
-
Subject: Who or what the sentence is about — usually a noun or pronoun (or group of nouns/pronouns).
-
Predicate: What the subject is doing or being — everything else in the sentence that tells us about the subject (usually includes the verb and objects/complements).
