Learning Goals
• Students will learn how to develop a
subject in a sentence
• Students will learn how to identify a
subject in a given sentence
• Students will learn in what form of subject

What is the Subject?
Subjects
• The subject of a
sentence is simply
what or whom the
sentence is about. It
usually comes before
the predicate.
Simple Subject
• A simple subject is a
noun or topic without
any modifiers or
descriptors
• Example: “The Apple”
Complete Subject
• A complete subject is
a subject with
modifiers and
adjectives
• Ex: “The shiny red
apple was bitten and
tossed.”
Compound Subject
• When a sentence has
more than one
subject it can be
noted that it has a
compound subject
• Ex: Zombies and
Vampires are
monsters
Test Yourself…
• The next slide has four pictures
• Write three sentences in regards to the
four pictures in the next slide
• The first sentence should be a simple subject sentence
from that picture
• The second sentence should be a complete subject
based on that picture
• The third sentence should be a compound subject based
on that picture

Predicate
Mr. Bono’s Grammar Lesson
Learning Goals
• Students will learn how to develop a
predicate in a sentence
• Students will learn how to identify a
predicate in a given sentence
• Students will learn in what form of
predicate they will need given certain
grammatical situations
Predicate
• The predicate is the part
of the sentence that says
something about the
subject.
• The main part of the
predicate is the verb.
• The predicate usually
comes after the subject.
Just ask yourself what the
sentence is telling you
about the subject.
Simple Predicate
• A simple predicate is
the action of the
subject
• Ex: “The zombie
runs.”
Complete Predicate
• The complete
predicate is the verb
and all its modifiers in
a sentence
• Ex: “Someone was
attacked yesterday by
a zombie.”
Compound Predicate
• When a sentence’s
subject has more than
one action it is
referred to as a
compound predicate
• Ex: The zombie runs
after a person and
rips into their flesh
Quiz
• Write a three lines beginning with a simple
subject and a simple predicate.
• The second line will be a sentence of a
complete subject and a complete
predicate
• The third line will be a sentence containing
a compound subject and a predicate
