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. A subject refers to who or what in a sentence. A predicate refers to what the subject did or is. ...................................................................subject- who or what are you talking about. predicate- describes, modifies, and talks about the subject.

What type of verb is the word timid?
Timid is an adjective, not a verb. Verbs are words that are about actions, like the words walk, talk, etc., and also conjugations of the infinitive "to be," as in "I am, he is, they are," etc.
What is the present perfect tense?
A perfect tense is one where the action has been completed (or perfected).
Some English speakers find the present perfect tense a bit difficult because it expresses action that began in the past but continues or is completed in the present.
This tense is formed by adding "has" or "have" to the past participle.
Examples are:
I have just finished my dinner.
They have built five houses to date.
A visible star has emitted light for thousands of years.
The past participle is used to form the perfect and pluperfect tenses as in I have asked him - I had askedhim. Other examples of past participles - written, told, been, walked, stood ...
The past participle is also used to form the passive, as in The money was spent quickly; he was pushed; they were driven home. It is also found in phrases used 'in lieu' of passive verbs, as for example, The statement made by John seems true; the houses built last year ...
The past participle is also the form of a verb used as an adjective, as in The spoken word; an illustratedbook; a sworn statement; a shrunken head; the chosen candidate.
The given sentence has got two clauses: First one is a main or principal clause, "Elena thinks" where the subject 'Elena' is first person singular which agrees with the verb 'thinks'. Second clause is a subordinate one: "five dollars are a lot of money". In this, 'five dollars', even though apparently a plural noun does work as singular noun, is the subject of verb 'are'. As 'a lot of money', the object of the verb 'are', is considered singular since the article 'a' makes it a singular entity, the verb 'are' does not agree with it. Actually the verb 'is' should be substituted for 'are' ("Elena thinks [that] five dollars is a lot money"). Hope this explanation clears the confusion.
What are coordinating and subordinating conjunctions?
Coordinating Conjunctions are words that connect two equal words, phrases, or clauses.
For example:
Connecting two words: apple and orange.
Connecting two sentences: I can go or he can go.
A common acronym to remember coordinating conjunctions is FANBOYS.
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So.
Subordinating Conjunctions are conjunctions that come at the beginning of clauses and make a clause dependent on another clause. They also show a relationship between one clause and another.
If we take the Independent Clause, "He went to the store," and we put a subordinating conjunction at the beginning of that clause, "Since," the clause becomes dependent on another sentence to make it complete.
"Since he went to the store."
Notice that this sentence can no longer stand alone.
When we add a subordinating conjunction to the beginning of a clause we must attach it to an independent clause--"Since he went to the store, I got my ice cream."
The subordinating conjunction also shows a relationship between the first clause and the second clause. It was BECAUSE he went to the store that I got my ice cream. The reader can tell that there would be NO ice cream if he hadn't.
Some examples of subordinating conjunctions are:
As soon as
Whenever
Wherever
When
After that
Because
Since
How do you find the subject in a sentence?
The subject is the person or thing doing the action (verb). In a simple sentence like:
The dog ate the meat.
dog is the subject, the dog did the action (eat).
However in complicated sentences the subject is not so easy to see.
The assigned text for history class contains more than twenty chapters.
In this sentence text is the subject.
The past tense of "fit" is "fitted" or "fit." Both are commonly used and considered correct.
An auxiliary verb comes before the main verb in a sentence.
For example, in the sentence, "He would eat ten hot dogs in this state," would is the auxiliary verb; it comes before eat, which is the main verb.
