afternoons.▫The cars were backed up for three miles.▫Trinity, Kyle, and Diamond were going to the

subject is doing, the “do” part of the sentence. This is also known as the predicate.

• The predicate part of the sentence contains verbs in it.

• For example:▫Jonas likes to play soccer on Saturday afternoons.▫The cars were backed up for three miles.▫Trinity, Kyle, and Diamond were going to the

mountains for a short vacation.
