What is the distinction between a phrase and a sentence?
A sentence requires a subject and predicate. That means a noun and a verb that are in agreement with one another (in terms of singular and plural). A phrase is not a complete sentence. It is a little group of words that go together and function together in some way.Here is a very short but complete sentence:She laughs.You have a subject (a pronoun, which stands "for" ["pro"] a noun) and a verb that agrees with it--that is, both are singular.Here is a very long phrase that is not a complete sentence. This happens to be a prepositional phrase because it begins with a preposition ("in") and ends with the object of the preposition (the noun "house"). All the rest is description of the noun at the end.in the large, ramshackle, isolated, abandoned, and allegedly haunted house(You would not really write like this, we hope, but it would be a correct and grammatical phrase if you did.)If you have a subject and a verb that make a complete sentence, you can't call it a phrase. If all you have is a phrase, you don't have a sentence.
Is their snoring kept a Annie awake a complete sentence?
Maybe, but the question is a little garbled.The following is a complete sentence:Their snoring kept Annie awake. (note the period - without it, the sentence would not be complete)Your example had no indication of where the sentence in question began or ended, and there seems to be an extra A kicking around in there.

Can you list many examples of subject in sentences?
The subject of a sentence is WHO or WHAT the sentence is about.Examples:The man went to the store. The subject is man.My mother is at work. The subject is mother.John hit his head. The subject is John.That store is my favorite. The subject is store.My daughter's friend is home from college. The subject is friend.You are smart. The subject is you.He is my friend. The subject is he.Kevin's car crashed into a tree. The subject is car.This computer is awesome. The subject is computer.That cute, little baby smiled at me. The subject is baby.For each sentence, just ask WHO or WHAT is the sentence about. That is the subject. The subject is always a noun or a pronoun.
Whaet is the definishion of predicate nomitiv?
Just a little spelling first. The sentence should be written, "What is the definition of a predicate nominative?"Predicate refers to belonging or being, such as the verbs is, are, were, etc.Nominative refers to a noun.There are predicate adjectives, such as "The sky was grey." The predicate adjective grey describes the subject sky.Or predicate nominatives, such as "John and I are musicians" or "It is I." The predicate nominative is a noun or pronoun which refers to, or is a substitute for, the subject.

What are the rules in the agreement between the subject and predicate?
Subject of a SentenceThe subject is a unit of syntax that functions as one of the two primary parts of a basic sentence. It is the person or thing that the sentence is talking about. It is most commonly a noun or noun phrase ("The boy ran"'; "The group of children played"), but it can also be a verb form that functions as a noun ("Hiking is good for one's health"; "To meditate is good for one's soul").Predicate of a SentenceThe predicate is the other basic unit of sentence structure and can be a little trickier than the subject. It expresses the action (through verbs such as "walk" or "read") or the state of being (through verbs such as "is" or "are") of the subject. The predicate modifies the subject, or helps to describe it further, and carries the tense of the sentence. The predicate must contain a verb, but it can be a verb alone or a verb plus other modifiers.
Sally is very patient with her pesky little brother transitive or intransitive sentence?
The verb "is" is a linking verb.A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of a linking verb restates the subject of the sentence.Sally = patientThe object of a linking verb is called a subject complement; a noun, pronoun, or adjective that the subject is or becomes.The subject complement "patient" is a predicate adjective.A noun or pronoun subject complement is a predicate nominative.
How do you construct sentences with noun and adjective?
A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.An adjective is a word used to describe a noun.A basic sentence is made up of a subject (a noun or pronoun) and a verb (an action or a state of being). A sentence must have a verb. Examples:The girl sings. (subject noun 'girl', verb 'sings')The little girl sings. (adjective 'little' describes the noun 'girl')A sentence can be simple or complex. In a complex sentence, a noun functions as the subject of the sentence or a clause, and as an object as the direct object or indirect object of the verb; and the object of a preposition. Examples:I heard a girl singing. (the noun 'girl' is subject of the clause; the clause 'a girl singing' is the direct object of the verb 'heard')We saw the little girl. (the noun 'girl' is the direct object of the verb 'saw', described by the adjective 'little')I gave the little girl a book. (the direct object of the verb 'gave' is the noun 'book'; the indirect object of the verb is the noun 'girl')The book was for a little girl. (the noun 'girl' is the object of the preposition 'for')A noun can also function as an adjective to describe a noun. This function is called an attributive noun (also called a noun adjunct). Example:I gave the little girl a story book. (the noun 'story' describes the noun 'book')A noun and an adjective can also function as subject complements.Subject complements are:A predicate nominative is a noun following a linking verb that restates or stands for the subject.A predicate adjective is the adjective following a linking verb which modifies (describes) the subject of the sentence.The girl was a child. (the noun 'child' restates the subject noun 'girl')The little girl was happy. (the adjective 'happy' is the predicate adjective describing the subject noun 'girl')

Always put the predicate before the subject and if you can put a little accent in itI would recommend you watch Star Wars and really listen to the Yoda parts.Example: "My home, this is." Instead of: "This is my home."
