π 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 person, animal, thing, or place that's doing something or being described. The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject. It includes the verb (the action word) and all the other words that describe the action.
Think of it like this: The subject is the star of the sentence, and the predicate is the story about the star!
