  27. The Subject • Is the Noun of the sentence, The sentence is also based upon the Noun In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” Ballerina is the subject In, “The Seminole Indians traveled over the water in the dugout canals.” • The quickest way to find the subject is to read the sentence carefully • The subject can be singular or plural and 1 or 2 words www.assignmentpoint.com

  28. The Predicate • The predicate names the verb in the sentence that tells what is happening In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” leaped is the predicate In, “ The Seminole Indians traveled over water in the dugout canals.” the predicate is traveled.” • The easiest way to find the predicate is to find what the subject is doing. www.assignmentpoint.com
