✂️✂️✂️The Subject and Predicate✂️✂️✂️

Welcome 👦👧boys and girls to another class. Today, we will be going on an adventure where we will be exploring the topic: The Subject and Predicate of a Sentence. Read all given information and do the activities below.

What are the Subject and the Predicate?

Every complete sentence has two main parts:

1. The Subject: Tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about.
• Hint: Find the verb and ask "Who?" or "What?" before it. 

2. The Predicate: Tells us WHAT the subject DOES or IS. It always includes the verb.
• Hint: It is everything in the sentence that is not the subject. 

Examples;

Let's look at some sentences. The subject is in bold red. The predicate is underlined and in italics.

• Simple Example:
• Dogs bark.
• (Who barks? Dogs. What do they do? bark.)
• More Detail:
• The big, brown dog ran quickly to the park.
• (Who ran? The big, brown dog. What did he do? ran quickly to the park.)
• Action Verb:
• My little sister ate all the cookies.
• (Who ate? My little sister. What did she do? ate all the cookies.)
• Being Verb (no action):
• The sky is very blue today.
• (What is blue? The sky. What is it? is very blue today.)
• Command (You is the subject):
• Please sit down. (The subject is You [understood]).
• (Who should sit? You. What should you do? sit down.)
