To identify the subjects, predicates, or complete sentences in the given sets of words, we need to understand the basic components of a sentence:
1. The apple - This is a subject because it refers to a noun (apple) that the sentence is about.
2. Broke the window - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "someone" or "something" implied, and the predicate is "broke the window."
3. Telephones ring - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "telephones," and the predicate is "ring."
4. Ball bounce - This is not a complete sentence. It lacks a subject or an implied subject. It can be considered a sentence fragment.
5. The noisy trucks - This is a subject because it refers to a noun (noisy trucks) that the sentence is about.
6. Fell off the chair - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "someone" or "something" implied, and the predicate is "fell off the chair."
7. A funny clown - This is a subject because it refers to a noun (funny clown) that the sentence is about.
8. The big comfortable couch - This is a subject because it refers to a noun (big comfortable couch) that the sentence is about.
9. Ran down the street - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "someone" or "something" implied, and the predicate is "ran down the street."
10. A boy ate a hot wing - This is a complete sentence. The subject is "a boy," and the predicate is "ate a hot wing."
Remember, a subject is the noun or pronoun the sentence is about, and a predicate is the action or description related to the subject. When there is a subject and a predicate together, it forms a complete sentence.
