Simple subject and predicate?

Officals hope the new shopping mall will increase pedestrian traffic and lure shoppers to the downtown area.

ss...officals
sp...hope

Right

These are for the main clause, right? Not including any subordinate clauses?

I believe that is what the teacher wants, the main clause.

Thank you very much.

A simple subject is the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this sentence, the simple subject is "officials."

A simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase that shows what the subject is doing or the action it is taking. In this sentence, the simple predicate is "hope."
