SUBJECT AND PREDICATE

⏬⏬SUBJECT AND PREDICATE ⏬⏬

WHEN WE MAKE SENTENCES

(1)WE NAME SOME PERSON OR THING ;AND 
(2) SAY SOMETHING  ABOUT THAT SUBJECT/ PERSON OR THING
IN OTHER WORDS, WE MUST HAVE A SUBJECT TO SPEAK ABOUT AND WE MUST 
SAY OR PREDICATE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT SUBJECT 

HENCE EVERY SENTENCE HAS TWO PARTS ---

(1) THE PART WHICH NAMES THE PERSON OR THING WE ARE SPEAKING ABOUT 
     THIS IS CALLED THE SUBJECT OF THE SENTENCE
(2) THE PART WHICH TELLS SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUBJECT . THIS IS CALLED THE               PREDICATE  OF THE SENTENCE
(3) THE SUBJECT OF A SENTENCE USUALLY COMES FIRST, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT IS PUT AFTER THE PREDICATE ;AS,

  * DOWN WENT THE ROYAL GEORGE 
  * SWEET ARE THE USES OF ADVERSITY 

(4) IN IMPERATIVE SENTENCES THE SUBJECT IS LEFT OUT ;AS,

  * SIT DOWN ( HERE SUBJECT YOU IS UNDERSTOOD) 
  * THANK HIM ( HERE TOO THE SUBJECT YOU IS UNDERSTOOD)
