📚 Topic Summary
Every sentence has two main parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject is who or what the sentence is about. It's the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described. The predicate tells us something about the subject. It includes the verb and all the words that modify or complete the verb's meaning. Identifying these parts will make you a sentence-structure superstar! 🌟
