The subject and predicate play a significant role in a sentence. Without these elements, a sentence would not exist. However, a subject and predicate must form a complete thought to be logical. Therefore, understanding both parts of a sentence is significant.

See the fact file below for more information on Subject and Predicate, or alternatively, you can download our 22-page Subject and Predicate worksheet pack to utilize within the classroom or home environment.

What is a Subject and a Predicate?

Subject

• How do you identify a subject in a sentence?
• First, look for the verb and determine the thing or the person it describes.
• In most cases, the subject is placed prior to the verb.
• Examples:
  • The monkey climbed the tree.
  • Chef Betty cooked delicious food for the family.
  • Harry Potter is a great book.
  • Sleep makes my mood better.
  • Mae celebrated her birthday with her close friends.

Simple Subject

• A subject may include modifiers.
• Once they are excluded, it turns into a simple subject.
•  Examples:
  • The red dress is so expensive.
  • Peejay went to the supermarket to buy batteries.
  • The large truck accidentally fell into the hole.
  • Grandma enjoys doing crochet projects.
  • The theater where we will perform is big.
  • All dogs are pets of Mrs. Peters.
  • The microphone fell and broke.
  • The denim jacket that Jae gave me got ripped.
  • The kimbap she made tastes delicious.
  • Peejay went to the supermarket to buy batteries.
  • Marcus was sleeping when his siblings came home.

Complete Subject

• It is the subject that includes all the words talked about in the sentence.
• It may contain modifiers.
• Examples:
  • The blue polo shirt got wet in the rain.
  • Two violet cars were stolen in the parking lot.
  • The sturdy tree was destroyed by the typhoon.
  • The roller coaster ride is one of my fondest memories.
  • Seventeen ballerinas will perform in the play.
  • The cute dog ran inside the house.
  • The guy in the blue coat is my boyfriend.
  • The game Space Impact is one of my favorite video games.
  • That yellow flower in the garden smells so good.
  • Those naughty children were called by the principal.

Compound Subject

• These are two or more subjects that are usually connected by commas or conjunctions.
• For compound subjects, it is significant to note the subject-verb agreement.
• Examples:
  • Eggs and tomatoes go well with bread.
  • Lia, Louie, and Brian went to the costume party.
  • Twilight and High School Musical are some of my favorite movies.
  • The player and the referee had the wrong judgment.
  • Mazzie and Binnie left me in the shoe shop to buy some coffee.
  • The school, mall, and hospital are near each other.
  • Math and Science are Alec’s favorite subjects in school.
  • The earrings and necklace are both made of gold.
  • Green and black are Yibo’s two favorite colors.
  • Mandy and her groupmates pulled an all-nighter.
• The verb form for compound subjects with neither/nor and either/or, will be based on the subject closest to the verb.
• Examples:
  • Neither the boy nor the girls attend the study meeting.
  • Either Audrey or Ailee needs some time alone.
  • The furniture or the television might have to be disposed of tomorrow.
  • Either fish or vegetables can only be served for dinner.
  • Neither you nor I can go to the beach tomorrow.
  • Maxine or Sabby will represent the team for the finals.
  • Either sleeping late or inactivity can make you sick.
  • Neither the policeman nor the victim has returned to the station.
  • An apple or two oranges provide enough nutrition.

Predicate

• Predicates contain the verbs in the sentence.
• It is a significant part of a sentence because it gives information on what the subject is performing.
• To locate the predicate, you can ask, “What does the subject do?”.
• Where the verb is, you have also found the predicate.
• Examples:
  • I celebrated my victory alone.
  • Maria sang her favorite song in the finals.
  • Chris and Jeff went to the laboratory to perform more tests.
  • The helper did all the work while the family was on vacation.
  • A new phone was launched yesterday.

Simple Predicate

• Simple predicate pertains to only the verb in the sentence without its modifiers.
• Examples:
  • The athlete finished the competition.
  • The hikers drank water after two hours.
  • Maricel and Renee moved to their new house yesterday.
  • The pot fell from the third floor.
  • Chris Hemsworth acted as a villain in the movie.
  • The birds flew.
  • The firefighter rushed the patient to the hospital.
  • The girl delivered my laundry late.
  • My nephew tore the pages of my favorite book.
  • Mina’s parents renovated the house last year.

Complete Predicate

• The complete predicate contains the verb together with the modifiers.
• The modifiers further discuss how the verb affects the subject.
• Examples:
  • The family lost their house due to the fire.
  • The storm came last night.
  • The lion was so aggressive.
  • My best friend came to our house with a cake.
  • Jason forgot to lock the door.
  • The delivery guy left the food outside the gate.
  • The guy in yellow broke the car’s mirror.
  • My sister is so excited about tomorrow.
  • My coffee got cold after an hour.

Compound Predicate

• In a compound predicate, two verbs are joined with a conjunction, but the subject they describe must be the same.
• The compound predicate provides additional information and details about the sentence.
• Examples:
  • We went to the cinema but fell asleep.
  • Jack went up the hill and fetched Jill.
  • The group sang and danced for their audition.
  • Anna ate and brushed her teeth before going to sleep.
  • My brother hates doing the dishes but loves cooking.
  • She played games and slept the whole day.
  • I bought the ticket but sold it right after.
  • Shane attended the meeting early and left the office late.
  • Niki wrote the song and performed it on stage.
  • I chased the man and returned his bag.
