@astrysk I think if you understand the sentences just by reading them, and you have strong reading comprehension, etc. then you're probably good. Breaking it down into these parts might actually cause more confusion. (And I say this as an English tutor.)
@KilluhKatt The predicate is the part of the sentence that indicates what the subject is DOING (which usually requires a verb.)
So for the sentence "Dog eats."
"Dog"=Subject, "Eats"=Predicate.
For a longer sentence, "Dog eats lots of meat."
"Dog"=Subject, "eats lots of meat"=predicate.
That's all a predicate is, just the part of the sentence/phrase that indicates the action of the subject. Or it's the part of the sentence that makes the subject more specific. So instead of simply a dog, we have a dog who eats lots of meat. Specific.
I think what's important to remember for us LSAT takers is we have to be able to distinguish who/what the subject of a sentence is (like the main character) and what exactly they are doing, or what makes them unique. As long as you can do that, you're good.
If anyone's struggling with grammar/language, let me know. I'd be happy to try and help. I'm an English tutor and I have experience in this.
