10 examples of sentences with simple subject and simple predicate

We all write every single day, whether it’s a text message, report, or email. And that means we all compose sentences that are crafted from different parts.

Yup, there are different parts of sentences. And guess what? Learning what the different parts of a sentence are called can show a mastery of language.

subject vs. predicate

By elementary school, kids begin learning about the different parts of a sentence.

These parts give each word a job. And every complete sentence needs two things: a subject and a predicate.

But what exactly are they?

The subject of the sentence is what (or whom) the sentence is about. In the sentence “The cat is sleeping in the sun,” the word cat is the subject.

A predicate is the part of a sentence, or a clause, that tells what the subject is doing or what the subject is.

Let’s take the same sentence from before: “The cat is sleeping in the sun.” The clause sleeping in the sun is the predicate; it’s dictating what the cat is doing. Cute!
