Hi, I have to diagram sentences for my English class, and show something called 'subject' and something called 'predicate.' Can you help me figure out how to do that?

Sure! A sentence has two main parts:

Yeah, the first sentence is 'Billy goes to the store.' Which part of this is the subject, and which part is the predicate?

The first part ("Billy") is the subject, and the second part ("goes to the store") is the predicate. The subject names the actor in the sentence, and the predicate describes what the actor does.

Thanks! How about this one? 'The dog bit me.'
