To Divine Rod: It's easy. Take a sentence and ask "who does what?" The "who" would be a subject. The "does what" is a predicate. The skyscraper rises over the river. Who/what does what? The skyscraper does something. The skyscraper is a subject. Does what? Rises. Rises is a predicate.A bit harder now. Over the river a skyscraper rises. We have two nouns. Which I c a subject? Who does what? The river does nothing. The skyscraper does - it rises. The skyscraper is a subject (again).Hope it helps unless you are talking about more confusing examples.

I think it's just because the "like-a-guy" group/mentality tends to be publicly shunned in the internet society, while "flirty" comments have been accepted due to the fact that a lot of females tend to like the attention flirting gives. Why that is, I don't know.

It’s informative video for me. Please I have question which I am not finding any excuses for use comma with no coordinating in some example. These sentences I cited from email which I have received from yahoo news , so it must be corrected I guess. Please , can you tell me what the excuses here for not using any coordinating conjunction here ? 1- A San Diego grand jury indicted the Hunters for allegedly using campaign accounts to pay for their children's private school tuition, lavish travel including restaurant meals that frequently cost hundreds of dollars. 2-The indictment alleges the Hunters lied about how the money was spent, with the couple saying it went to charity or campaign events when prosecutors said it was really used for groceries, restaurant meals and clothing. 3-Hunter appeared to blame his wife for the violations in an interview with Fox News last year, saying he gave Margaret power of attorney when he was deployed to Iraq as a marine in 2003, and that she oversaw his campaign finances.

A better way to rephrase would be "The game was over, but my friend refused to leave before getting Lebron's autograph." The word 'but' normally comes after a comma because it acts as a break in the sentence flow. Hope this helps
