Every sentence has a central focus, a main character, someone or something that the sentence is talking about.
It's a tough job, but our hero, The Subject, loves to be the center of attention, and he uses all of his powers to make sure that the sentence is always about him.
The subject does what the predicate tells him to do.
A sentence must have a subject to be a complete sentence.
