It explains that every complete sentence features a simple subject, which is the noun or pronoun the sentence is about, and a simple predicate, which contains the verb that describes the action. Through definitions and examples, learners will understand the definitions of subjects and predicates, their roles, and how they function together to create meaningful sentences.
