Sentences

A sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. The subject tells us who or what a sentence is about and the
predicate tells us more about the subject. The verb is always included in the predicate.
For example:
v The lion is sleeping.

Here, we are talking about a lion. ‘The lion’ is the subject. The second part of the sentence is telling us about the
lion. Hence, ‘is sleeping’ is the predicate.
In simple terms, a sentence is a set of words that contain a subject (what the sentence is about, the topic of the
sentence) and a predicate (what is said about the subject). That means every complete sentence contains two
parts—a subject and a predicate.
v Subject: The person or thing in a sentence that does an action.
For example:

 My brother is calling me.
v Predicate: The part of a sentence that contains the action.
For example:

 Arjun is going to play.
