A subject is the one who does the action and performing something.
For example, He likes to play, Sara loves flowers. in the following sentences, HE and Sara are the subjects as they doing and performing something.
And the predicate is the verb and the rest of the sentence and not the subject.
For example; He likes to play, Sara loves flowers. in these sentences likes to play and loves flowers are the predicates of the sentences.
