Subject and Predicate


What is a Subject and Predicate?
Every complete sentence consists of
two parts –
Subject and Predicate

A complete sentence always contains a verb,


expresses a complete idea and makes sense
standing alone.
SUBJECT
Subject –The subject of the sentence
is what or whom the
sentence is about
For example –
The dog is sleeping under the sun.
The word ‘Dog’ is the subject of the
sentence.
PREDICATE
Predicate – The predicate is the part
of the sentence which tells what
the subject is doing or what the
subject is.
