Subject and Predicate

A sentence contains two main parts; subject and predicate.
Subject: A subject is the thing or the person about which or whom the sentence is about.
Predicate: Predicate is the part of the sentence which tells something about the subject.

Let us consider example of a sentence to understand the concept of subject and predicate.
=> Police is chasing the robbers.
The above mentioned sentence is about 'Police', so it is the subject.
Whereas, 'is chasing the robbers' is giving us some information about the 'Police', so it is predicate.
