  1. Sentence: Subject and Predicate A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It usually contains a subject and a predicate. The subject tells you who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells you what the subject does or is. Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark, such as a full stop, question mark, or exclamation mark. **Subject**: The subject of a sentence usually includes the noun or pronoun and any words that modify it. For example, in the sentence "The cat slept on the mat," "The cat" is the subject. Predicate**: The predicate of a sentence includes the verb and any other words that complete the meaning of the verb. For example, in the sentence "The cat slept on the mat," "slept on the mat" is the predicate.
