⟹ Some important about subject:-

• At first we will discuss here what is subject? To recognise the subject in the sentence we have to make Question with "who". For example (i) Ram is playing cricket . who is playing cricket here we will get answer of who is the subject of the above sentence. So, Ram is the subject .

⟹ Some important about predicate:-

• Predicate is the part of sentence. Here we will explain you that how can you recognise the predicate of any sentence. At first we have to know something as you know that Subject and verb are independent in any sentence so, except for subject and verb , All the words in the sentence is predicate
