2. The Parts of Sentence

Now, you will study how many parts of a sentence are there.

There are two parts in a sentence.

1. Subject 2. Predicate

1. Subject: The part of a sentence that tells us the person or the thing spoken
about is called the subject .

For example:

1. The students are going on an educational trip.

2. The cat is sleeping peacefully.

In sentence (1) , the subject is ‘the students’ who do the action.

In sentence (2) , the subject is ‘the cat’ who does the action.

2. Predicate: The part of a sentence that tells us something about the subject

is called the predicate .

For example:

1. The bird is flying .

2. Ram is an intelligent boy .

In sentence (1) , ‘is flying’ is the predicate.

In sentence (2) , ‘is an intelligent boy’ is the predicate.

Look at the following sentence:
