Subject and Predicate
How do we distinguish between subjects and predicates? It will be hard for English learners to understand many concepts and rules on English if these two are not that understood yet.
Subject-the person or thing being talked about in the sentence
Predicate-tells something about the subject
ex. He swims. (He is the subject and swims is the predicate.)
The old woman dressed in red looks very lonely. (The old woman dressed in red is the subject and the predicate is looks very lonely.)
It is easy to find where the subject and the predicate is if we will try to find the verb. The verb is the line that separates subjects from predicates.
