A final definition for clarification... The subject of a
sentence is who or what the sentence is about AND all the
descriptive words that give you more information about the who or
what. Other important reminders: 1. Dont forget about pronouns
those could be the subject as well. 2. There will NOT be the
subject of a sentence. 3. You could have more than one noun that
makes up the subject of a sentence.

Add these notes as a continuation of our 8 parts of speech
grammar unit. Subject and Predicate Yesterday, we identified the
subject, so today we will identify the predicate. 1. For each
sentence we labeled yesterday, write an imitation. 2. Label all the
nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs of your imitation sentence.
Yesterday after lunch the students were complaining about the short
recess. The light blue shirt with the colorful pattern was her
favorite top.

Yesterday, we identified the subject of sentence. What do you
think a predicate of a subject might be? Yesterday after lunch the
students were complaining about the short recess. Noun Subject The
light blue shirt with the colorful pattern was her favorite top.
Noun Subject VERBS!!!! The predicate always includes the verb and
tells something about the subject Adj. Adv. Adj. Verb SUBJECT

Now, label the subject and predicate of your imitation
sentences. Important information about predicates: 1. Dont forget
about linking verbs and helping verbs 2. Just like with subjects,
there can be more than one verb that makes up a predicate. 3. Dont
forget subject-verb agreement! A singular subject needs a singular
verb Ex. The cat runs The plural subjects need plural verbs Ex. The

tracks, shivering as it rounded the curve. Noun Verb Noun Verb
