Every sentence has a complete subject
and complete predicate.
The complete subject tells whom or
what the sentence is about. For example; The
house, The red car, or The
great teacher.
The complete predicate tells what
the subject is or does. For example; (The
house) is white, (The
red car) is fast, or (The
great teacher) likes students.
The house is
white.
The car is blue.
The teacher likes
