The parts of English sentences *** Subject and Predicate

Subject and Predicate

Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject
and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence
is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject.
In the following sentences, the predicate is enclosed in braces
({}), while the subject is highlighted.
Judy {runs}.Judy and
her dog {run on the beach every morning}.

To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the Verb and then make a question
by placing "who?" or "what?" before it -- the answer is the subject.
The audience littered the theatre floor with torn wrappings
and spilled popcorn.
The verb in the above sentence is "littered." Who or what
littered? The audience did. "The audience" is the subject of the
sentence. The predicate (which always includes the verb) goes on to
relate something about the subject: what about the audience? It
"littered the theatre floor with torn wrappings and spilled popcorn."

Unusual
Sentences

Imperative
sentences (sentences that give a command or an order) differ from
conventional sentences in that their subject, which is always "you,"
is understood rather than expressed.
Stand on your head. ("You" is understood before "stand.")

Be
careful with sentences that begin with "there" plus a form of the
verb "to be." In such sentences, "there" is not the subject; it
merely signals that the true subject will soon follow.
There were three stray kittens cowering under our porch
steps this morning.
If
you ask who? or what? before the verb ("were cowering"),
the answer is "three stray kittens," the correct subject.

Simple
Subject and Simple Predicate

Every
subject is built around one noun or pronoun (or more) that, when
stripped of all the words that modify it, is known as the simple
subject. Consider the following example:
A piece of pepperoni pizza would satisfy his hunger.

The
subject is built around the noun "piece," with the other words of the
subject -- "a" and "of pepperoni pizza" -- modifying the noun.
"Piece" is the simple subject.

Likewise, a predicate has at its centre a simple predicate,
which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject. In
the example we just considered, the simple predicate is "would
satisfy" -- in other words, the verb of the sentence.

A sentence may have a compound subject -- a simple
subject consisting of more than one noun or pronoun -- as in these
examples:
Team pennants, rock posters and family photographs covered the boy's bedroom
walls.Her uncle and she walked slowly through the
Inuit art gallery and admired the powerful sculptures exhibited there.

The
second sentence above features a compound predicate, a predicate
that includes more than one verb pertaining to the same subject (in
this case, "walked" and "admired
