Subject and Predicate – Learn English Grammar With KFDN

Subject and predicate are important parts of any sentence. A subject is what the sentence is about and the predicate further describes the subject. When we make a complete sentence, we name any person or thing and say something related to that particular person or thing. 

Sentence – The part of a sentence which names the person or thing we speak about. 

Predicate – Something about the sentence. 

In case of imperative sentences, the subject isn’t added. 

Get up ( you is the subject and it is understood) 

Call him ( you is the subject and it is understood)
