Every complete sentence has two essential parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun performing the action of the sentence, which can be identified by asking "who?" or "what?" about the verb. The predicate is the verb itself, or the action being performed by the subject. Several examples are provided to demonstrate identifying the subject and predicate in sample sentences through questioning the verb.
