Session 5: Parts of a Sentence & Parts of Speech

Sentences can be divided into three major parts-

  • Subject
  • Predicate
  • Object

In the simplest form, Sentence has two parts:

(a)– Subject, and (b)– Predicate

1). The Subject

The Subject of Sentence tells “Who is performing the action of the sentence”. It can be person, place or thing. The subject represents what or whom the sentence is about.

For example -: The old man built a road. (The old man is a subject.)

2). The Predicate

The predicate says something about the subject. The predicate of a sentence includes the verb and everything that follows it.

For example-: The old man built a road. (built a road is a predicate.)

3). The object

The object is also a part of the predicate. Objects tell about the things being acted upon by the verb.

For example-: The old man built a road.

-the object is ‘a road‘.

-the verb is ‘built‘.
