Grammar Guide 13 - Subjects & Predicates
Last week we started to discuss sentences. This week, we continue.
Sentences are made up of two parts. Subjects and Predicates.
Subjects - The person, place, or thing that is the topic of the setence-- along with the words that describe it.
Predicate is what the person, place, or thing is doing or what condition it is in -- along with the words that modify it.
Implied Subject - Imperative sentences often have an implied subject. "Go fly a kite!" The implied subject is You, as in "You go fly a kite!"
The young man danced wildly. ("The young man" is the subject. "danced wildly" is the predicate.
