Question

A4] Pick out the subject and predicate from the given sentences: [2]

1] A wrinkled old woman sat before one of the houses.​

Answer 1

$\Large {\underline { \sf \orange{Required \; Answer :}}}$

1] A wrinkled old woman sat before one of the houses.

Subject : A wrinkled woman

Predicate : sat before one of the houses.

Here in this question subject is "a wrinkled woman" as we are naming an individual about which something is being said.

And in the second part it is telling about the subject that she sat before one of the houses. So, "sat before one of the houses" is predicate.

$\Large {\underline { \sf \orange{A \: Little \: Further. . .!! }}}$

• The subject of a sentence is a word or a group of words about which something is being said.

• The part which tells about the subject is called predicate.

How to find the subject and the predicate?

• If you'll get the subject,then other part will be the predicate. So the main thing is we have to find the subject.

• To identify the subject,we just have to pick out the verb and frame questions like "who+verb" or "what+verb". The words or phrases that answer these questions constitute the subject.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline \bold\green{ANSWER}$

$\underline{first \: lets \: know \: about \: subject \: and \: predicate \: }$

$every \: sentence \: contains \: subject \: and \: predicate \:$

$\red{\star \: subject \: - }\\ it \: tells \: who \: (or \: what) \: the \: sentence \: is \: about \:$

$\red{\star \: \: predicate - } \\ the \: predicate \: tells \: what \: the \: subject \: does \:$
