Is the Noun of the sentence, The sentence is also based upon the Noun
In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” Ballerina is the subject
In, “The Seminole Indians traveled over the 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

28. The Predicate
The predicate names the verb in the sentence that tells what is happening
In, “The beautiful ballerina leaped into the air like a deer.” leaped is the predicate
In, “ The Seminole Indians traveled over water in the dugout canals.” the predicate is traveled.”
