Identifying the Predicate Part 2

A subject (a noun or a pronoun with modifiers) tells who or what the sentence is about.

A predicate, such as a verb, tells what happens or what the subject is doing.

See the underlined predicate in the example below:
 

The brown dog barked loudly.
 

The predicate is not always a person—the predicate tells us what someone or something is doing.
