language
The 2 Main Parts are:

also based upon the Noun

like a deer. Ballerina is the subject

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

The Predicate
The predicate names the verb in the
sentence that tells what is happening
In, The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air
