Grammer ep: 20 Pronoun-antecedent

Notice how instead of saying Peter, you can say he since we established that Peter is a guy. 

Now let's take: "The cats ate all the food".

How would we do this since it refers to multiple is: "The cats ate all the food, and they left no trace".

Grammer ep: 19 Phrase and clauses

 A subject is a noun that is doing the action, and a predicate is something that is the rest of the sentence that is not the subject

 A phrase is not a full sentence, as they don't have subject and verb, for example:
"My best friend", "My green T-shirt".

A clause has a subject and a verb, clauses can also be a sentence
