What is a Sentence?
A sentence must contain a subject and a predicate.
The subject must contain a noun or nominal word,
and the predicate must contain a verb.
A sentence can be as simple as a noun and a verb.
• Example: Birds fly.
The subject can contain more than a noun, and the predicate
can contain more than a verb.
• Example: Migratory birds fly to Florida.
• In the above example, the subject contains an adjective
(migratory) and a noun (birds), and the predicate contains a verb
(fly), a preposition (to), and a direct object (Florida).
What is a Subject?
The subject of a sentence identifies who or what the
sentence is about. Nouns, pronouns, gerunds, and phrases
can all be subjects. Subjects can be singular or plural.
The subject has two forms: the simple subject and
the compound subject.
SUBJECT
The subject is what the sentence is about. Also called the naming part of the
sentence, the subject answers the question, "Who or what?" when asked in
connection with a verb. Usually when the subject is at the beginning of the
sentence, it is a noun or pronoun.
• Mary works. [Who or what works? Mary works.]
• Three red apples are on the table. [Who or what is on the table? The apples
are on the table.]
• Swimming is a great exercise. [What is great exercise? Swimming.]
A). Simple Subject
The simple subject can be the one word that tells what the sentence
is about. If there is a simple subject and other words to describe the
simple subject, this is called a complete subject.
• The girl works.[(Girl = simple subject.]
• The pretty, red-haired girl works.[Pretty and red-haired describe
girl, so altogether they are a complete subject.]
B). Compound Subject
A compound subject is present if a sentence has two or more
subjects connected to the same predicate.
• John and Mary went to the movies.
• Chocolate and strawberry are my two favorite flavors of ice
cream.
• Furniture and paper are two uses for wood.
Predicate
The predicate is the part of a sentence or clause that tells us
what the subject is or what it does.
The subject describes who is performing the action in the
sentence, while the predicate describes the action performed.
The predicate always contains a verb, but it often includes
more words than just the verb itself.
• The grass is always greener on the other side.
• Sandy prefers to run first and then eat breakfast afterward.
