Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume that the task here was to point out the complete subject and the complete predicate of given sentences. I have underlined the subjects and written the predicates in bold letters.

The subject is what the sentence is about - what performs an action or is being described.

The predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes it.

There are two types of subjects and predicates:

  • Simple - only the main word within the subject (a beautiful butterfly - butterfly) or the verb within the predicate (had three kittens today - had)
  • Complete - subject/predicate and all words that modify them.
