What is the difference between a 'subject' and a 'predicate'?
Asubject is the part of a sentence that mentions who or what. For example, in the sentence: "I did that," "I" is the subject.A predicate describes what the subject did or is. In "I did that," "that" is the predicate.However, sometimes the subject is unclear. For example, in the sentence "Each of the kids has done a science project," Each is the subject, instead of kids.a subject is who or what the passage is talking about. For example,if you had the sentence, ''Amy and I went to see a movie'',then the subject would be ''Amy and I''because the sentence is talking about Amy and me.The predicate would be anything after the subject, usually starting with a verb.the word ''went'' in the sentence is a verb.
