The document discusses the key elements of subjects and predicates in sentences. It defines a subject as the person or thing a sentence is about, and the predicate as what is said about the subject. It provides examples of finding the subject by asking "who?" or "what?" before the verb. The document also discusses simple and compound subjects and predicates, and how to identify each part by removing extra words.
