Le 2 Subject and predicate

We know that a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense.
Example: Mary is reading a book.
A sentence can be divided into two parts: a) The Subject and b) The predicate
Mary
is reading a book.
Subject
predicate
Mary is the subject because the sentence is about to Mary. The word is reading a
book is the predicate because this part tell us something about the subject Mary.

The part of a sentence which tells us what the sentence is about the subject.
The part of a sentence which tells us something about the subject is the predicate.
The subject can be a word or a group of words.

Eg.1.Suman came first in class

Sub.
Pred.
2. The two babies were feeling scared

Sub.

Pred.

The order of the subject and predicate.

Usually, the subject comes before the predicate but often for emphasis, the predicate
can come before the subject.
Examples:
In that jungle lived
Predicate
Subject: A lion

a lion.
subject
Predicate: lived in the jungle
verb
The predicate always begins with a verb.
Again, in Imperative sentences, the subject is not mentioned.
Examples: 1. Go to sleep.
2. Get up from bed.
These sentences actually mean
1. You go to sleep.
2. You getup from bed.
You is the subject. It is not stated but implied.

Things to remember:
1. The subject can be a word or a group of words.
2. The subject can be in the beginning, middle or at the end of the sentence.
3. The predicate always begins with a verb.
4. In commands, the subject is you which is not mentioned but implied.

Lesson -4 The Verb Kinds of verbs

A verb is a word which says something about the subject in a sentence.

It is the most important part of a sentence as there can be no sentence without a
verb.

Examples:
1. The girls dance.
2. The child plays.
3. The sun shines.
In the above sentence the words dance, plays, and shines are verbs and they tell us
what the subject of the sentence (girls, child, and sun) does.

Kinds of Verbs : Verbs can be classified into 2 types:

1. Transitive Verb:
Read these groups of words
1. Veena loves________? (what)

2. Mona likes________? (what)

3. Jim struck________? (whom)
These are not sentences. They are incomplete and require objects to complete their
meanings or sense.
Now, read the same groups of words along with their objects.
1. Veena loves Chinese food.
Sub
verb
object
2. Mona likes sweets.
Sub
verb object
3. Jim struck John.
Sub verb
object
Now, these sentences make complete sense.
Words which are added to the verbs to complete their meaning are called objects.

Define : A verb that requires an object to complete its sense is called a Transitive
verb.
Examples:
The tailor made shirts.( The tailor =subject, made=Verb(transitive), shirt=object
2. Intransitive verb:
Read these sentences
1. Rajan laughed.
2. Dogs bark.
3. Birds fly.
These sentences do not require any object to complete their meanings (or sense). They
make complete sense by themselves.

Define : A verb that does not require an object but makes good sense by itself is called
an Intransitive verb.
Eg. The sun shines.
Intransitive verb

Ex-1. Define with examples:

1. Transitive Verb:
_________________________________________________________________
