The document discusses the key components of sentences: subjects and predicates. It explains that every sentence contains a subject and a predicate, with the subject being who or what the sentence is about and the predicate telling something about the subject. It then defines and provides examples of simple subjects and predicates, complete subjects and predicates, and compound subjects and predicates.

1. Subjects & Predicates
Every complete
sentence contains two
parts: a subject and a
predicate.

2. The subject is what (or whom)
the sentence is about, while the
predicate tells something
about the subject.

3. Judy and her dog run on the
beach every morning.

4. Judy and her dog run on the
beach every morning.
First find the verb and then make
a question by placing ``who?''
or ``what?'' before it.
The answer is the
subject, Judy and
her dog.

5. Let’s try one:
We spilled popcorn on the floor.
What is the verb of this
sentence?
We spilled popcorn on the floor.

6. Now find the subject:
We spilled popcorn on the floor.
Now decide who or what spilled
popcorn?

Every subject is built
around one noun or
pronoun (or more). When
all other words are
removed the simplesimple
