This document discusses the key parts of a sentence: the subject, which is the part about which something is said, and the predicate, which says something about the subject. It notes that every sentence has a subject and predicate, and defines the simple subject and predicate as the main words, while the complete subject and predicate include all modifiers. Examples are provided to illustrate subjects, predicates, simple and complete versions of each.
