+Direction+.--_Point out the subject and the predicate of each sentence in
Lessons 12 and 17_.
Look first for the word that asserts, and then, by putting _who_ or _what_
before this predicate, the subject may easily be found.
TO THE TEACHER.--Let this exercise be continued till the pupils can readily
point out the subject and the predicate in ordinary simple sentences.
When this can be done promptly, the first and most important step in
analysis will have been taken.
