Subjects & Predicates

Every sentence has a subject. It tells whom or what the sentence is about. The complete subject includes all the words in the subject, and the simple subject is the main word or words in the complete subject.

Every sentence has a predicate too. It tells what the subject is or does. The complete predicate includes all the words in the predicate, and the simple predicate is the main word or words in the complete predicate.

Create 3 of your own sentences. Write the simple subject and predicate after each sentence in parenthesis. Feel free to make corrections/suggestions about other sentences submitted if you do not agree.

ex: Students of Portal Elementary School treat their classmates with respect. (students/treat)
