Subject: The part of the sentence which is talked about, is called the Subject. The subject has a Noun or a Pronoun in it. In the sentences which are given below, the first part (in italics) consists of a word or a group of words about which something has been said.

Examples:
1. We play.
2. His brother sings a song.
3. The peon is ringing the bell.
4. He reads the book.
5. The boys were making a noise

Predicate: The part of the sentence which tells about the subject is called Predicate. The Predicate has a verb in it. The table showing Subject & Predicate is given below:

Subject
