 SUBJECT vs PREDICATE
Remember that every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject
and a predicate.

The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate
tells something about the subject.

EXAMPLES:

Jongin dances.
subject predicate

Jongin and his brothers dances on the studio everyday.

subject predicate
 SIMPLE SUBJECT
Sometimes a subject has many words that modify or describe it. If you
take away all the modifying or describing words and just keep the
main subject (noun or pronoun), it is called the simple subject.

A simple subject is a subject that has just one noun or pronoun as the
focus of the sentence. This means that only one noun or pronoun does
the action, or connects, to the verb of the sentence.

For example:

The hungry fox darted across the yard.

Here, the complete subject is "the hungry fox." There are two more
words like the and hungry that modify the main subject, which is the
word fox. So, fox is the simple subject
 SIMPLE PREDICATE
A predicate can also have many words. It also has a main part which is
the simple predicate.

The simple predicate is the verbs or verbs that are connected to the
subject.

For example:

The old brown polka dot box was broken.

The simple predicate is the verb “was broken”.

COMPLETE SUBJECT and PREDICATE
A complete subject includes all the words that tell whom or what the
sentence is about.

On the other hand, a complete predicate includes all the words that
tell what the subject is, has, does, or feels.

NOTE: A sentence does not have to be short to be simple. It can have

many phrases and still be a “simple” sentence.
