Every complete sentence has two parts: a subject and a predicate.
The subject is the person or thing we talk about that performs or does an action. It usually comes before the verb.
The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us something about the subject. It consists of a verb, which may be one word or a phrase. It completes the sentence.
| Subject | Predicate |
|---|---|
| Leonardo da Vinci | painted the Mona Lisa. |
| The painting | became popular. |
| The farmers | formed a cooperative. |
To find the subject of the sentence, look for the verb and then form a question by placing who or what before it.
