In order to identify the subject and predicate in a sentence, we need to understand their definitions.

- Subject: The subject is the part of the sentence that typically names the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about. It usually performs the action or is the topic of the sentence.
- Predicate: The predicate is the part of the sentence that contains the verb and provides information about the subject. It often describes what the subject is doing or experiencing.

Now, let's break down the sentences you provided:

1. The smell of cooking is delicious to the hungry campers.
- Subject: The subject of this sentence is "The smell of cooking." It is the topic of the sentence.
- Predicate: The predicate is "is delicious to the hungry campers." It describes what the subject is like and how it is perceived by the hungry campers.

2. A good fire is difficult to build.
- Subject: The subject of this sentence is "A good fire." It is what the sentence is about.
- Predicate: The predicate is "is difficult to build." It describes the difficulty of building a good fire.

3. Everybody helps to pitch a tent.
