You have two options depending on context:

1) If it's a quick exchange and can be figured out in context, put the foreign language in italics.

"As-tu le livre?"

"Yes, I have the book here."

or inline:

"You filthy p'taQ!" B'Elanna snarled.

2) If it's a quick exchange without context, put the translation afterwards and italicize that.

"Pour ma peine, ma punition, je tourne en rond," he sighed. For my pain, for my punishment, I pace in circles. Now Picard understood.

inline:

"Qa'pla!" Successs! the Klingon shouted.

In any case, I would not have more than one or two exchanges in a foreign language. Either use a tag like "she said in French" so the reader realizes the characters aren't speaking English, or note in narration "they discussed the matter in French for some time, but as Malcolm didn't speak the language, he had to wait for a translation."

Predicate for the subject red indians
amm1812

Answer:

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but I'll try to put something helpful :)

Explanation:

To find the predicate in a sentence you first need to find the subject. The subject is what the sentence is about. For an example I'll use the sentence "The cat drinks some milk". In that sentence the subject is the cat because that is what the sentence is about. The predicate is what the subject is doing or what the subject is. In the example sentence the predicate would be "drinking" because that is what the cat is doing. In your situation I do not know the full sentence but look for what the red indians are, or what the red indians are doing. Like, "the red indians are running" running is the predicate there. I hope this is useful sorry if it's not what you were looking for.
