Subject, Predicate, Object, complement

2. Sentence
A sentence is a group of words, which expresses a complete thought.
When we make a sentence we name some person/thing and say
something about it.

3. Parts of a Sentence
Subject
The part, which names the person/thing we are speaking about, is
called the subject of the sentence.
Predicate
The part, which tells something about the subject, is called the predicate of
the sentence.

4. Example
The dog ran after the cat.
Subject Predicate

5. Sentence
• A complete sentence always contains a verb, expresses a complete idea
and makes sense standing alone.
Example
