Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of a sentence is the thing, name or object being described in a sentence.

A simple predicate verb is the major verb of a sentence that says what the subject of the sentence does.

A prepositional phrase is a set of words that begin with a preposition and end with a pronoun or a noun. Examples include;

  • "around the house" - around- preposition, house- noun
  • "up the ladder" - up- preposition, ladder- noun

Because prepositional phrases may contain a noun and the subject of sentence is a noun, identifying the subject and the simple predicate verb may be difficult.

Therefore, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the prepositional phrases in sentences so as to easily identify the subject and the simple predicate verb.
