Simple Subjects and Predicates
Every complete sentence has two parts : a subject and a predicate. The subject tells

simple subject is the noun or pronoun. The simple predicate is the verb that expresses
the action done by the subject.
Directions: Rewrite each sentence. Underline the simple subject once and
the simple predicate twice.
