Subjects &
Predicate
Every complete sentence contain two parts: a Subject and a Predicate. The subject is
what ( or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something
about the subject.
They are some things you should know about the
subject and the predicate:
·
The
Subject Verb Agreement: When the subjects follow the verb
(specially in sentences beginning with the expletives “There is” or “There
are”) special care is needed to determine the subject and to make certain that
the verb agree with it. Subject and verb must agree with one another in number
(singular or plural) if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular,
if a subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.
·
The
Word Order: The sintactic arrangement of words in a
sentence, clause, or phrase, in many languages, including English, word order
plays an importer part in determining meanings expresses in other languages by
inflections.

be followed by and object. An object is a noun or pronoun that give
meaning to the subject and verb of the sentence. A Direct Object, is a
noun or pronoun that receive the action of the verb, while the Indirect
