Subjects and Predicates

Every sentence has a subject and a predicate. In the following sentences the subject is underlined and the predicate is shown in bold. 


  Jill flew a kite.

  Jack fell down the hill.

  The mouse ran down the hall.
All sentences have both a subject and a predicate. The subject tells who or what does something in the sentence. The predicate tells what the subject does or is. Here are some more examples: 

  Jill wore a dress.

  The glass was full of water.

  They walked on the dunes.
Remember that the predicate always contains a verb.
