The complete subject of a sentence tells who or what the sentence is about.

Example: The huge, green, alien from Mars waved to us.

The simple subject also tells who or what the sentence is about, but it doesn't have all of the descriptive words. The simple subject is usually just a single noun.

Example: The alien from Mars wawed to us.

What Sometime called the simple predicate?

First, the "predicate" is just another name for the verb, the word that shows the action in a sentence. Every sentence needs a subject (the person, place or thing doing the action) and a predicate (the action word that tells what the subject has done). The simple predicate is usually the main verb in a sentence. For example: Jerry ran to catch the bus. The subject is Jerry. The word that tells what he did is "ran" and that is the simple predicate.

What are simple subject?

A simple subject is a noun (person, place, or thing) or pronoun that is doing the action (the verb). The word order in a basic English sentence is subject, verb, object ( the object is the 'receiver' of the action).Example sentence: The man saw the bus. In this sentence the man is the one who is doing the action (see/saw) the man is the subject, see is the verb (past tense) and bus is the object.However, subjects can also be a clause.Exmple sentence: What we need is a sharp knife. In this sentence the noun clause what we need is the subject, but because there is no noun or pronoun doing the action, this is not a simple subject.


What is compound subject plus simple predicate?

Okay, a compound subject is two subjects into one, and a simple predicate is the same ending to both subjects. For example: Alan and Robin were found walking down the street. In the foregoing, Alan and Robin are the two subjects, also known as compound subject, while simple predicate was "were found." However, I added another predicate which was basically an adjective phrase, "walking down the street." But "were found" is a simple predicate.
