It explains that every sentence contains a subject and a predicate, with the subject being who or what the sentence is about and the predicate telling something about the subject. It provides examples of finding the subject and predicate in sample sentences. It also covers the concepts of simple subjects and predicates, as well as compound subjects and predicates which involve more than one element.
