Mr. Mota sampled some cheese at the deli. which is simple subject and simple predicate?

simple subject: Mr. Mota

simple predicate: sampled

Explanation:

The simple subject is the person or thing that is doing the action. Sometimes, the subject is decorated with adjectives (for example: the funny clown), so the simple subject is only the part without any adjectives (so, in the previous example, it would be simply "the clown").

Here, we see that Mr. Mota is doing the action of sampling the cheese. So, we understand that Mr. Mota is the subject. Since there aren't any flowery adjectives around, "Mr. Mota" is the simple subject, as well.

Just like how simple subject is the main subject without the adjectives, simple predicate is the simple verb without any adverbs or, essentially, the rest of the sentence.

Here, "sampled some cheese at the deli" is the complex predicate, but since we only want the simple one, it is "sampled".

that a few simple words can whet the mind's appetite to further explore.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
