Subject and Predicate Terms

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The subject term names the first class; the predicate term names the second.

"All senators are citizens" — subject: senators; predicate: citizens.

Watch for

Terms are class nouns, not grammar-book subjects. "Are citizens" isn't the term — "citizens" is.
