Answer 2

Answer:

Sentences normally have two parts – a subject and the predicate. In any sentence, we name a person or a thing and then say something about him/it. Simply put, we have a subject to talk about and we say or predicate something about him. To predicate means to state, affirm or assert. So, every sentence has two parts. The subject is generally the first part and the predicate the second. In some cases, this sequence may change and the subject may be in the middle or near the end of the sentence. The part in which we name a thing or person is the subject part and the part in which we say something about the subject is the predicate part.

For example: Sam went to NewYork. Sam is a person and so the subject and then ‘went to NewYork’ is what we are saying about him or the predicate.

In Imperative sentences the subject may be omitted. For example: Go back. Come here. Sit down or Take it. In these sentences the subject is a second person or ‘You’.
