Subject and Predicate

Hey Students,

So, let's talk about sentences and how they're put together. You've probably heard of subjects and predicates, right? Well, they're like the dynamic duo of sentence structure. The subject is the doer, the one we're talking about, while the predicate is everything else in the sentence that tells us more about the subject.

We'll explore how subjects and predicates work together in sentences, from simple statements to more complex structures. It's like solving a puzzle of language, and once you understand it, you'll be able to express yourself more clearly and confidently.

Let's dive in and uncover the secrets of sentences together!

(A) Definition

Subject: In a sentence, the subject is a noun, pronoun, or noun clause about which something is said or which performs an action. It represents the doer or the entity about which something is stated. For example, in the sentence "Ram is an honest boy," the subject is "Ram" because the statement ("that he is an honest boy") is about him.

Predicate: The predicate refers to the rest of the sentence, excluding the subject. In the example above, the predicate is "is an honest boy." It consists of the verb and the object of the verb.

Examine the following sentences:

S.No	Subject	Predicate
1)	Rakesh	Is my classmate.
2)	It	Is our duty.
3)	Tajmahal	Was built by Sahajahan.
4)	Cow	Was grazing in the field.
5)	He	Won the match again.
6)	Mahatma Gandhi	Is our national father.
7)	I	Want to become a doctor.
8)	They	Were coming from the forest.

 

(B) Sentence without Subject

In imperative sentences, the subject is omitted or understood.

Examples:

a)    Sit down. (Subject "you" is understood.)

b)    Open your bag. (Subject "you" is understood.)

c)    Close the door. (Subject "you" is understood.)

d)    Brush your teeth. (Subject "you" is understood.)

e)    Turn off the lights. (Subject "you" is understood.)

f)     Pay attention. (Subject "you" is understood.)

g)    Be quiet. (Subject "you" is understood.)

h)   Wash your hands. (Subject "you" is understood.)

i)     Listen carefully. (Subject "you" is understood.)

j)      Follow the instructions. (Subject "you" is understood.)

 

(C) Predicate before Subject

Usually, a sentence starts with a subject, but sometimes it is placed after the predicate.

Example:

a)    Here comes the great magician.

b)    Down the street came the marching band.

c)    Into the room ran the excited children.

d)    Through the door burst the barking dog.

e)    Over the hill rolled the giant boulder.

f)     From the forest emerged the majestic deer.

g)    Up the stairs climbed the weary traveler.

h)   Around the corner appeared the unexpected visitor.

i)     Out of the darkness emerged the glowing light.

j)      Through the clouds peeked the shining sun.

k)    Down the mountain tumbled the rushing waterfall.

Sentence and its types

Dear Students,

So, let's talk about sentences - you know, those little building blocks of language that help us express our thoughts and ideas.

So, let's dive into the world of sentences and explore all the cool stuff they can do!

3)    Lets play a game.

4)    Sit
