As it sailed south,Lord Nelson's great ship,Victory,met the Spanish fleet near Trafalgar.
complete predicate of the sentence begain with what word?
whats the simple subject of the sentence?
What is the sentence about? That is the subject.
What did the subject do? That is the verb. The complete predicate will modify or complete the verb.
I always found that it is simplest to find the verb first. Hint... the verb is "met".
Now, what met? = subject.
Then what describes when, where "met"?
To find the complete predicate of the sentence, we need to identify the word that begins the predicate. In this case, the verb "met" begins the predicate.
To find the simple subject of the sentence, we need to identify the main noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. In this case, the simple subject is "Victory," as it is the great ship that the sentence is focusing on.
