THE PRINCIPAL PARTS OF THE SENTENCE

Subject
The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing that the sentence is about.
If it comes before an action verb (e.g. Climb, eat, build, say etc) then it is the part of the sentence that shows
whom or what is doing that action. If it comes before a state verb (e.g. İs, see, smell) it tells us whom or what
is in that state of being.
It is usually a noun or pronoun and can also include modifying words, phrases or clauses. Here are some
examples of subjects in a sentence:
Predicate
While the subject is what the sentence is about, the
predicate is what is being said about the subject.

It will always include a verb but will usually also

include other elements. So these are what it will/may
include:

•Verb
•Direct Object
•Indirect Object
•Subject Complement

In the examples below, the predicate is in bold.

EXAMPLES:

The Subject The Predicate

The woman... The woman is beautiful.
Cars.... Cars are blocking all the parking
 The boy in the red coat... spaces.
(includes modifying  The boy in the red coat is trying to
phrase) find his toy.
THE OBJECT OF A SENTENCE

 The object is usually the person, place or thing that’s

being acted upon by the subject’s verb. As you might
guess, the easiest way to find the object in a simple
sentence is to look for the noun or pronoun that
follows the verb. While every sentence needs a
subject and a verb, a sentence doesn’t necessarily
need an object (for example, “He ran.”). Unlike
subjects, objects are generally split into two broad
groups.
DIRECT OBJECTS

The direct object is, as the name implies, the thing that the action of the
sentence is directly acting upon. In most cases, they’ll appear right after
the verb (except in the passive voice).
John hated math class.
The scientists launched the rocket.
She saw the full moon.
The television show was watched by everyone.
 To find the direct object, you can flip the sentence as a question with
“what?” or “who?” as in “What did John hate?” or “What did the
scientists launch?”
 INDIRECT OBJECTS

Another kind of noun or pronoun that might come after the verb is an indirect object. These are the nouns that
are the beneficiaries of the action, but the verb is not acting directly on them. Often — but not always — they
follow a preposition like “to” or “for.” While direct objects answer questions like “what” or “who,” indirect
objects answer things like “to what?” or “for whom?
Mary told her secret to a friend.
Taylor threw the ball to Dylan.
Izzy made pottery for his brother.
Jane got Ida a gift.
 In this last example, the indirect object is not where you might expect it. In cases like these, you have to ask
“Is the verb directly or indirectly affecting the noun?” In this case, Jane did not “get” Ida, she got a gift for
Ida.
THE ATTRIBUTE

The attribute is a secondary part of the sentence which qualifies a noun, a pronoun, or any other part of
speech that has a nominal character.

Ways of expressing the attribute.

It can be expressed by:

1. An adjective (the most common way of expressing an attrib­ute).

•This big girl is very lazy.

•1 am speaking about the big girl, not the little one.
•He seems a very silent, awkward, bashful lad.
•Meanwhile she was the gayest and most admired woman.
2. A pronoun (possessive, defining, demonstrative, interrogative, relative).
 His shrewd, steady eyes had lost none of their clear shining. 
 Each of these ladies held fans in their hands, and each, with some touch of
colour, some emphatic feather or brooch, testi­fied to the solemnity of the
opportunity. I looked at her —at her, and at none other, from that moment.
 James once went down to see for himself what sort of place
this was that they had come from. 
 In that great London, what time had they to be sentimental?
3. A numeral ( cardinal or ordinal )
•After the second round he won six points.
•İs it part two of the book?
4. A noun
• The garden wall was almost ruined.( common case )
• This is a book of my brother’s.( genitive case )
5. A prepositional phrase
•A letter from her sister impressed him badly.
•The leg of the table is broken.
6.An adverb
• We followed the after events ( in pre-position )
• A voice inside said, «Come in.» ( in post-position )
7. By a clause
• This is the boy who can help you.
11. Quotation groups
• İ don’t like his «what is your name» question.
WHAT IS AN ADVERBIAL MODIFIER?

 An adverbial modifier is a word or phrase that is used to modify another part of a sentence, typically a verb or
adjective. When used properly, these modifiers provide additional information about an action or some part of a
sentence and answer a question about it. In the sentence, “He crossed the bridge quickly,” the word “quickly” is an
adverbial modifier. The modifier in this example answers the question, “How did he cross the bridge?”
 In general, the purpose of an adverbial modifier is to provide additional information within a sentence and modify
another part of it. These modifiers can be fairly simple, though in some sentences they can become quite a bit
more complex. In its most basic form, an adverbial modifier can be a single word, which is typically an adverb.
Such modifiers are often formed through the addition of the suffix “-ly” to the end of an adjective.
 The word “loud” is an adjective that is used to describe a noun. It usually provides information about the sound
that the word it modifies makes. “Loudly,” however, is an adverbial modifier that describes a verb or an adjective
to provide information about how something was done.
