What is the Subject?
Subjects
• The subject of a sentence is simply what or whom the sentence is about. It usually comes before the predicate.
Simple Subject
• A simple subject is a noun or topic without any modifiers or descriptors
• Example: “The Apple”
Complete Subject
• A complete subject is a subject with modifiers and adjectives
• Ex: “The shiny red apple was bitten and tossed.”
Compound Subject
• When a sentence has more than one subject it can be noted that it has a compound subject
• Ex: Zombies and Vampires are monsters
Test Yourself…
• The next slide has four pictures
• Write three sentences in regards to the four pictures in the next slide

• The second sentence should be a complete subject based on that picture
• The third sentence should be a compound subject based on that picture

Predicate
Mr. Bono’s Grammar Lesson
Learning Goals
• Students will learn how to develop a predicate in a sentence
• Students will learn how to identify a predicate in a given sentence
• Students will learn in what form of predicate they will need given certain grammatical situations
Predicate
• The predicate is the part of the sentence that says something about the subject.
• The main part of the predicate is the verb.
• The predicate usually comes after the subject. Just ask yourself what the sentence is telling you about the subject.
Simple Predicate
• A simple predicate is the action of the subject
• Ex: “The zombie runs.”
Complete Predicate
• The complete predicate is the verb and all its modifiers in a sentence
• Ex: “Someone was attacked yesterday by a zombie.”
Compound Predicate
• When a sentence’s subject has more than one action it is referred to as a compound predicate
• Ex: The zombie runs after a person and rips into their flesh
