Subject are predicate are the two parts of a sentence.
Example:
The students are waiting in the class.
«»«»«»«»«» «»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»«»
Subject Predicate
A subject is a person, animal or a thing that is doing the action or is the focus of the sentence. The sentence revolves around the subject; it tells what the sentence is about. It is usually a noun or a word that takes the place of a noun.
A predicate is the part of the sentence that contains the action that the subject does. It usually includes the verb, object/adjective/adverbs (if any).
Let us see a few pictorial examples:
Subject | Predicate | Sentence |
Mr.Balu  | is teaching English.  | Mr.Balu is teaching English. |
The baby  | is sleeping peacefully.  | The baby is sleeping peacefully. |
Note that always the predicate explains what the subject is doing. The subject and predicate should always pair up perfectly; Otherwise, the sentence will not make sense.
Example:
In the above pictures, if we alternate the subject and predicate, it will read as:
The baby is teaching English.
Mr. Balu is sleeping peacefully.
Both the sentences do not make sense if we refer to the images.
