every complete sentence contains two parts:
- subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about. is the transceiver of the verb
- predicate tells something about the subject. is the rest of the sentence without the subject
- verb is the action
- object is the receiver of the verb
Examples
Subject {Verb Object} - {} encloses the predicate
- Judy {runs home}
- Judy and her dog {runs on the beach every morning}
