Identifying <strong>Subject</strong> and <strong>Predicate</strong> ● ● Identifying subject is crucial to our understanding of what is said or written – we expect to find a subject at the beginning of the sentence ● the who or what a sentence is about – we expect the rest of the sentence to tell what the subject does or is like – predication – we expect that once the verb appears in the sentence, we have heard the entire subject The glaggety woodgies climmed brudgingly to the weegster – the glaggety woodgies – is a subject (plural) – climmed brudgingly to the weegster – predicate (climmed – verb in the past tense)
Exercise 1 ● ● How would you divide the following sentence into two parts, subjects and predicates Underline the subjects (Note that some words that appear at the beginning of the sentence may not be a part of the subject) – Edward grows tomatoes as large as grapefruit. – The students in Math 101 have always disliked taking exams. – Usually, people find Bill Cosby funny. – The house that we own sits on a small lot. Test your intuition by trying to substitute a single pronoun for the subject you have underlined.
