A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate, but not both. For example, "under the table" is a phrase that functions as neither a subject nor a predicate.
In English grammar, the predicate is part of a sentence that modifies the subject. It may consist of a simple verb, or it may be a phrase or group of words containing a verb, all of which work together to modify the subject. *Examples, in which Jim is the subject of a sentence and the predicate is in italics:Jim runs.Jim runs fast.Jim runs too fast.*See related link for more detail.
A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate but not both. A subject is present in a noun phrase, while a predicate is found in a verb phrase. An example of a phrase with a subject but no predicate is "the big tree."
A clause is a word group that contains a verb and its subject and that is used as a sentence or part of a sentence, whereas a phrase is a group related words that is used as a single part of speech and that does not contain both a verb and its subject.
A group of words without a subject or predicate is a phrase.
To use a word group to make a complete sentence, you can start by ensuring that the word group contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about, and the predicate is the verb that describes the action or tells something about the subject. Combine the subject and predicate to create a complete thought that conveys meaning.
The subject complement is the noun dancer.A subject complement is a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that follows a linking verb and modifies or renames the subject.A linking verb acts as an equal sign, the subject is or becomes the object (Joey = dancer).A noun or pronoun functioning as a subject complement is called a predicate noun or a predicate nominative.An adjective functioning as a subject complement is called a predicate adjective.
