When looking at an LR questions should i be breaking the sentences down to digestable pieces (figuring out the subject and predicate) then finding the premise and conclusion, or vice versa?
I feel like I need more explanation in predicate I know it's a verb or it starts with a verb. just in one of the exercises I feel like I don't understand it yet. predicate is an action word in a statement?
7sage, the definition of "subject" being "the thing that the sentence is about" is very misleading. The subject of a sentence is the thing doing the action.
Would it be accurate to say that subjects are always going to be nouns and predicates are always going to be verbs

I feel like 7SAGE is amazing but in this lesson we could have been given a better example of subjects and predicates in a more complex way.

My head hurts
Sentences must contain at least 1 clause.
Clauses must contain a subject and a predicate.
The subject must contain a noun. Subject = what the clause is about. (I.e., Dog)
The predicate must contain a verb. Predicate = what we want to say about the subject. (I.e., run)
Example: The dog can run.
Subject = The Dog (what the clause is about)
Predicate = can run (What the subject (the dog) is doing/saying).
all clauses contain a subject and a predicate
the subject always contains a noun and is what the clause is about
the predicate must contain and usually start with a verb and is the thing that we want to say about the subject
I feel like I need more explanation in predicate I know it's a verb or it starts with a verb. just in one of the exercises I feel like I don't understand it yet. predicate is an action word in a statement?

The entire time I sang, "Mr. Morton walked down the street, Mr. Mortan walked.

#feedback I enjoyed the throwback to past lessons in this one
A great grammatical linguist by the name of Lil Wayne once said "I got through that sentence like a subject and a predicate"
Would it be accurate to say that subjects are always going to be nouns and predicates are always going to be verbs
