What is the simple subject and the simple predicate of the following?

Question

1. Earnest and Raoul traveled by pogo stick from Maine to Oregon.

2. Leadbelly has influenced many folk, country, and pop singers.

3. Have you head of Leadbelly's song "Goodnight Irene?"

4. "Leadbelly" was the nickname of the African-American folk-singer Huddie Ledbetter.

Answer 1

By each sentence:

The simple subject is a noun or pronoun that does something.
The predicate is the action word...it's what's happening.

1. Earnest and Raoul - 2 simple subjects
.....now you fill in the predicate.....what they did?

2. Leadbelly is the subject....
verb has two worlds....and it's not simple so by having two words in the predicate, it is compound....
....so what did Leadbelly do?....predicate 2 words is:has _________.
3. You is the subject
.....what did you do...... first part of the predicate is have.....you misspelled the rest of the verb.

4. Leadbelly is the subject
....what did Leadbelly do.......
I'll give you this one......the predicate is: was

So subjects : do something...or are something,
predicates or verbs: are the action words, are what the subjects do, or ....are something....am, is, was, were......

I hope this helps!!!
