Subject/Predicate

D: What is a subject and a predicate?

• A subject and a predicate are the two parts of every sentence.
• The subject is who/what the sentence is about.
• The predicate is what the subject is doing or describes them. 

P: How do I find subject and predicate?

1. Ask, "Who or what is this sentence about?"
2. Ask, "Where is the verb?"   

The subject is in green. The predict is in yellow.

C: Why do we use subject and predicate?

• Because you need both pieces to have a complete thought.
• Missing a subject or predicate makes a fragment.
