How do you identify a subject and a predicate within a sentence?
In the subject, tell who or what the sentence is about. In the predicate, tell something about the subject. Example: Jimmy broke his hand. The subject would be Jimmy because it is who the sentence is about. The predicate would be broke because that is what Jimmy did to his hand. Tip; a predicate is usually a verb

What parts of speech must be present in a complete sentence?
A complete sentence must have a subject (noun) and a predicate (verb). For example, "The bird flies in the sky." "The bird" is the subject of the sentence (bird is a noun) and "flies in the sky" is the predicate (flies is the verb). This is a complete sentence. "The mailman" is NOT a complete sentence because there is no predicate (I didn't tell you what the mailman did). Ask yourself "Who?" and "Did what?" and if you're able to answer both questions then you probably have a subject and a predicate, and therefore, a complete sentence.

How do you tell the difference between a predicate and a verb?
A predicate is the part of the sentence that describes the action, whereas the subject is the part of the sentence that describes who is doing the action. The predicate may just be a verb, but it can also involve adverbs, conjunctions, helping verbs, and so forth, all of which help to describe the action of the sentence. Here is a sentence in which the predicate is just a verb: Bill left. Bill is the subject, left is the predicate. But you could also say, Bill left suddenly. In that case, left suddenly is the predicate.
