Exploración Identify the subject and predicate in a simple or compound sentences.

Contextualización

Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the predicate is enclosed in braces ({}), while the subject is highlighted.

Judy {runs}.Judy and her dog {run on the beach every morning}.To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the verb and then make a question by placing "who?" or "what?" before it -- the answer is the subject.

The audience littered the theatre floor with torn wrappings and spilled popcorn.The verb in the above sentence is "littered." Who or what littered? The audience did. "The audience" is the subject of the sentence. The predicate (which always includes the verb) goes on to relate something about the subject: what about the audience? It "littered the theatre floor with torn wrappings and spilled popcorn."

Conceptualización

Subject and PredicateThe most familiar grammatical function is the SUBJECT. In notional terms, we can think of the Subject as the element which performs the "action" denoted by the verb:


CLASE


[1] David plays the piano

[2] The police interviewed all the witnesses

In [1], the Subject David performs the action of playing the piano. In [2], the Subject the police performs the action of interviewing all the witnesses. In these terms, this means that we can identify the Subject by asking a wh-question:

[1] David plays the piano

Q. Who plays the piano? A. David ( = Subject)

[2] The police interviewed all the witnesses

Q. Who interviewed all the witnesses?A. The police (= Subject)

Having identified the Subject, we can see that the remainder of the sentence tells us what the Subject does or did. In [1], for example, plays the piano tells us what David does. We refer to this string as the PREDICATE of the sentence. In [2], the Predicate is interviewed all the witnesses.

Here are some more examples of sentences labelled for Subject and Predicate.

SubjectPredicate

The lion roared

He writes well

She enjoys going to the cinema

The girl in the blue dress arrived late

In each of these examples, the Subject performs the action described in the Predicate. We've seen, however, that there are problems in defining verbs as "action" words, and for the same reasons, there are problems in defining the Subject as the "performer" of the action. The Subject inJohn seems unhappy is John, but we would hardly say he is performing an action.

TYPES OF SENTENCES

A simple sentence consists of an independent clause, so it contains a subject and a verb.

It does NOT contain either a dependent clause or another simple sentence.

Examples of simple sentences –

short simple sentence: The dog barked. long simple sentence: Leaning first this way and then that, the large

tan dog with a wide black collar barked loudly at the full moon last night from under the lilac bush in the shadow of the north side of the house.

The simple sentence may have a compound subject: The dog and the cat howled.

It may have a compound verb: The dog howled and barked.

It may have a compound subject and a compound verb: The dog and the cat howled and yowled, respectively.

A compound sentence consists of two or more simple sentences joined by

(1) a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, yet, so): The dog barked, and the cat yowled.

(2) a semicolon: The dog barked; the cat yowled.

(3) a comma, but ONLY when the simple sentences are being treated as items in a series: The dog barked, the cat yowled, and the rabbit chewed.
