What is Simple subject?

A single word or pronoun joined to a verb is referred to as a simple subject. In most cases, the simple subject comes before the verb in a sentence. While modifications may be present in the entire subject.

What is Simple Predicate?

A simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that characterizes the action of the subject of each sentence. The only part that contributes to being a simple predicate is the leading verb or verb phrase. There are no modifiers in the sentence.
