Sentence Structure
- A subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action described in the sentence.
- The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject.
- A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate, but an object is not a necessary component.
- To identify the subject of a sentence, ask "Who or what is performing the action described in the sentence?"
- Example: In the sentence "The dog is running", the subject is The dog.
