A subject in the sentence refers to who performs an action. Whereas, a complete subject is also the simple subject or main word in a sentence which may have a modifier to describe it.

To identify a complete subject in the sentence, it answers to the question of "Who performs the action?" or "What performs the action?" A complete subject includes the subject and the words which modify it.

Therefore, in the above sentence, a complete subject is "Some cicada species." Herein, the subject is cicada species and the word which modify the subject is "Some."

I will underline the predicate nouns or pronouns and mark in bolds the predicate adjectives. Remember: predicate pronouns are pronouns that are present in the predicate; predicate nouns follow the verb (and are nouns or noun phrases that renames or offers more information about the subject); predicate adjectives follow a verb and modify the subject of the sentence.

1. Itzhak Perlman is a distinguished violinist. (the noun phrase "a distinguised violinist" gives us more information about the subject "I. Perlman")

2. Born in 1945, Perlman contracted polio at the age of four. (Mr. Perlman was born in 1945 and he also contracted polio)

3. Perlman is also an award-winning teacher and conductor. (this is a compound predicate adjective: he is both a teacher and a conductor)

4. His playing style is enthusiastic, expressive, and flawless. (this predicate adjective describes Mr. Perlman's playing style)

5. When my friends and I listen to him play, we are amazed at his talent. (I think this is the sentence without subject complements)

Place a comma, semicolon, or colon where it is needed in the following sentence.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

I like to read several things: newspapers, magazines, books, and poetry.

Explanation:

I used bold font where I edited the sentence. When you use the colon(:), you are about to use a list. That is exactly what happens in this sentence, so you replace the semicolon(;) which is used to join two or more ideas.

Whenever you are at the end of a list, you always add a comma(,) at the end of the last item before "and," so I put a comma there.
