Subject and Predicate. Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the predicate is enclosed in braces ({}), while the subject is highlighted.

For example, the subject of the sentence is what (or whom) the sentence is about. In the sentence “The cat is sleeping in the sun,” the word cat is the subject. A predicate is the part of a sentence or a clause, that tells what the subject is doing or what the subject is.

A predicate is a grammatical term for the words in a sentence or clause that describe the action but not the subject. In other words, the predicate explains what the subject does.

How do you identify a subject?

Finding subjects is easy once you have found the verb in the sentence. Subjects usually come before verbs. The subject is the word that you find when you ask the question: (Who or What) + (Verb) + (The rest of the sentence)?
