A simple sentence is made up of a subject (usually a noun) and a predicate (usually a verb).
The subject is "name" and the predicate is "is".
A sentence should have a subject and a predicate : the subject relates, performs, or perceives the action (or status) indicated by the predicate. Normally the subject is a noun, pronoun, or gerund. Normally the predicate contains a verb. The sentence may also have an object which receives the action by the subject. In written or spoken imperatives, the subject is usually understood to be a person, and the predicate may be an assumed form of the verb "be". Examples : * The man / fell. (subject/predicate) * The dog/ is sick. (subject/ predicate adjective as modifier) * He/ is a boy. (pronoun subject/predicate with nominal or identity) * The man / hit the dog. (subject/ predicate with object) * Running/ gives / me / a headache. (gerund subject/predicate with indirect and direct objects) Imperative (in exclamations) : * "Go to work." (you is the subject, "go to work" is the imperative predicate) * "Run!" (you is the subject, run is the imperative predicate) * "Fools!" ("you" or "they" is the subject, "are" the verb predicate, "fools" the predicate adjective or attribute )

A subject complement is the predicate adjective or predicate noun that follows a linking verb to rename or describe the subject.
Simple sentences are comprised of a subject and a predicate. The predicate states what the subject is, has, or does.
The main rule is that the subject and predicate must agree in number. If the subject is singular, the predicate should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the predicate should be plural as well. Additionally, the subject and predicate must agree in person - if the subject is in first person, the predicate should also be in first person, and so on.
