PEAZIT Aha card
Go straight to resources ↓Czech: subject and predicate
The predicate says what the subject does, is like or undergoes. Ask who/what together with the predicate. Word order is not decisive: pes is the subject of „Za domem štěká pes“.
| Example | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| Za domem štěká pes. → štěká | First find the verbal core: what is happening? |
| Kdo štěká? → pes | Ask using the predicate; the answer is the subject. |
