A subject refers to all the words before the verb and identifies who or what the sentence is about, while a predicate includes the verb and everything that follows, explaining what the subject does. Through practical examples and exercises, such as identifying subjects and predicates and drawing lines between them, students will enhance their grammar skills. This lesson is ideal for learners wanting to master sentence structure.
