Question

Separate the Subject and the Predicate in the following sentence:

We should profit by experience.

• A. Subject: experience; Predicate: We should profit by
  
• B. Subject: profit by experience; Predicate: We should
  
• C. Subject: We should profit; Predicate: by experience
  
• D. Subject: We; Predicate: should profit by experience
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D Subject: We; Predicate: should profit by experience

The pronoun we is the topic of discussion, followed by the verb should, indicating that it takes part in some action, which is normally what a subject does. Thus we is the subject of the sentence, whereas the rest, talking about the subject, is the predicate. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
