The simple subject is the main word in the complete subject.

  • The pilgrims traveled to the new world by ship. ('The pilgrims' is the complete subject; 'pilgrims' is the simple subject)

The simple predicate is the main word in the complete predicate.

  • The Dutch settled along the Hudson River. ('settled along the Hudson River is the complete predicate; 'settled' is the simple predicate)

Sentences are composed of a subject and a predicate; the subject tells who is doing the action, and the predicate tells us what the action is that the subject is doing. In the simplest form, the subject is a noun and the predicate is a verb, for example, rain falls. Rain is the subject, falls is the predicate. But phrases or elaborate compound phrases can also function as subjects and predicates.

The "simple subject' is the main word in the sentence that tell, "whom" or "what" the sentence is about

Now on the other hand, the "simple predicate" or "verb" is the main word or word group that tells something about the subject of the sentence.

The subject is the thing you're talking about, and the predicate (the verb) is the action word, or what you're doing
