Subject and Predicate L2

 UK English Grammar Level-2 

Subject and Predicate  

Learning about subject and predicate is the first step toward understanding how sentences work. Let’s dive in with easy examples!


What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that makes sense.
For example:

  • The cat runs.
  • The sun is shining.

A sentence has two parts:

  1. Subject
  2. Predicate

1. What is a Subject?

The subject is the part of the sentence that tells who or what the sentence is about.

Easy Examples:

  • The dog barks.
    (Who is the sentence about? The dog)
  • My mom is cooking.
    (Who is the sentence about? My mom)
  • The car is red.
    (What is the sentence about? The car)

2. What is a Predicate?

The predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us what the subject is doing or what happens to the subject.

Easy Examples:

  • The dog barks.
    (What does the dog do? Barks)
  • My mom is cooking.
    (What is my mom doing? Is cooking)
  • The car is red.
    (What is the car like? Is red)

How to Identify the Subject and Predicate?

To make it easy for you, follow these steps:

  1. Find the subject first: Ask, “Who or what is the sentence about?”
  2. Find the predicate: Ask, “What is the subject doing, or what is being said about it?”

Examples:

Here are simple sentences with the subject and predicate labeled:

  1. The cat | is sleeping.
    (Subject: The cat, Predicate: is sleeping)
  2. Tom | plays with his toy.
    (Subject: Tom, Predicate: plays with his toy)
  3. The flowers | are blooming.
    (Subject: The flowers, Predicate: are blooming)
  4. My dad | drives a car.
    (Subject: My dad, Predicate: drives a car)

Fun Activity :
