TOPIC 1:
SENTENCE
WHAT IS A SENTENCE?
PARTS OF A SENTENCE
Subject
The subject is the person or thing about
which something is being stated.
Predicate
The predicate is the part of a sentence that
tells something about the subject.
The predicate always includes a verb.
"Predicate" is also a verb that means, "to
state something."
Direct Object
A direct object is a person or thing that is
affected by the action of the verb.
The direct object "receives the action of
the verb."
Indirect Object
An indirect object is a person or thing that
the action is done to or for.
The indirect object usually comes just
before the direct object.
The indirect object is the receiver of the
direct object.
