Analysis Of Simple Sentence
Let us analyze the following simple sentence:
Milton, the author of Paradise Lost, was deeply versed in ancient learning.
Milton, the author of Paradise Lost, is the subject.
Was deeply versed in ancient learning is the predicate.
Milton is the principal word of the subject, and is modified by the appositive author.
Author is modified by the adjective the which is an article, and by the adjective phrase of Paradise Lost.
Was is the predicate verb, and is modified by the predicate adjective versed, by the adverb deeply and by the adverbial phrase in ancient learning.
Learning is modified by the adjective ancient.
We see from the analysis of this sentence that to analyze a simple sentence is to name:
1. Its subject.
2. Its predicate.
3. The principal word of the subject with its modifiers.
4. The modifiers of any other words in the subject.
5. Its predicate verb.
6. The modifiers of its predicate verb.
7. The modifiers of any other words in its predicate.

" Analysis of Simple Sentences "
We have learnt that every sentence that we speak or write consists of two parts, the Subject and the Predicate. The person or thing about which something is said, is called Subject.
What is said about the Subject is called the Predicate.

1. Mary had a little lamb.
2. Little Hari is the cleverest boy in the class.
3. The poor and old women gets little food.
•Which is the Subject in sentence 1 ?
__ Mary
•Which is the Subject in sentence 2 ?
__ Little Hari
Here the Subject consists of more than one word.
Which is the most important word in the Subject? The noun Hari is clearly the most important word in the Subject : without it we can't form the Subject. We call it therefore the Subject - word
or the Simple Subject to distinguish it from the Complete sentence.
Now, which is the Subject in sentence 3 ?
__ The poor old women
Here, the noun woman is the most important word in the Subject. Therefore, the noun woman is the Subject - word or Simple Subject.
