How Do I Identify the Subject and Predicate in a Sentence?

Identifying the subject and predicate in a sentence requires a good grasp of grammar and sentence structure. In South Africa, Grade 11 students studying languages often encounter this concept. The subject is the main focus of the sentence, while the predicate contains the verb and provides more information about the subject. One helpful tip is to look for the action or what the sentence is about to identify the predicate, and then find the main element carrying out the action to determine the subject. Understanding this basic concept can greatly improve language comprehension and composition skills.
