Explanation:-

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎A sentence is divided into two parts, namely: subject and predicate. A sentence with both a subject and a predicate is said to be a complete sentence. $\:$

⊙ Subject – It is a part of the sentence in the form of noun, pronoun or noun phrase, which is the main character in the sentence.

⊙ Predicate – It is the remaining part of the sentence (excluding subject), which contains what the subject has done.

Consider the sentence mentioned below as an example!

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Arya ‎ ‎laughed at the dog.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⇓ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⇓

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Subject ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎Predicate

In this sentence, "Arya" is a proper noun, "laughed" is the action verb and "at the dog" is the adverb phrase that modifies the verb by describing at whom did she laugh.

Additional information:-

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎A sentence also has a few optional parts such as object, complement, modifier and adverbial.

• Objects are also nouns or noun phrases, that are included in the predicate part in a sentence. Verbs act upon the object in a sentence.
• Complement is a fragment of the sentence, succeeding the linking verb in the sentence. A sentence with complement doesn't have action verbs.
• Modifiers are the adjectives and adverbs, whose work is to describe the noun or verb by adding additional information in the sentence.
• Adverbial is likely similar to modifiers. But, modifiers are made up of single words where an adverbial is made up of a group of words that explain how, when or where the action has been performed.
