Step-by-step explanation:

The predicate is the part of the sentence that makes a statement about the subject; the main part of the predicate is the verb. Usually, the subject comes before the predicate in an English sentence: Janet and Alex went out for dinner. [subject = Janet and Alex; predicate = went out for dinner]
