Sentences With Subject And Predicate. The subject of the sentence is what (or whom) the sentence is about. It is the part of the sentence that is not the subject, and includes all the descriptions of the action and the objects that are affected by the action.
A predicate is the verb that the subject (noun) is "doing" in the sentence. It is the part of the sentence that is not the subject, and includes all the descriptions of the action and the objects that are affected by the action. The part of sentence, other than the subject, is called predicate of the sentence.
If the subject contains a noun, the predicate contains a verb.
Sentences are divided into two parts: the subject, which is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate, which is everything else (verbs, adjectives, prepositional phrases, etc.).
When break down a sentence the subject is what (in other cases whom) the sentence is concentrated on. Together with the subject, these two basic parts express a complete thought. As the subject and predicate are the foundation of a sentence, students must be able to recognize them easily.
