Subjects and verb


Every sentence must have at least one subject and one verb in order to be a sentence. "ome sentences must have other parts in order to express a complete thou#ht. The man bought is not a sentence because it does not express a complete thou#ht. We need to $now what he bou#ht. Su!"ects and #er!s are the most important parts of a sentence- 7n $ng'ish+ the su!"ect of a sentence is a')a4s e;presses e;cept in a command* "urryG @ )e /no) that the su!"ect isH 4ouH

5he su!"ects te''s )ho or )hat did something- 7t is a noun or pronoun-

M4 c'assmate 'ost the /e4s to his motorc4c'e@Who 'ost the /e4s M4 c'assmateA

,oot!a'' and !adminton are m4 fa#orite sports in the schoo'@What are m4 fa#orite sports in the schoo' ,oot!a'' and !admintonA

5he #er! often te''s the action- 8o)e#er+ sometimes a #er! doesn:t te'' an action- Sometimes it "ust 'in/s the su!"ect )ith the rest of the sentence-
