Every sentence has two main parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject is who or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells what the subject does or is. Identifying these parts is super important for understanding how sentences work! Think of it like this: the subject is the star π of the sentence, and the predicate is the star's action or story. β¨
