Parts of a Sentence

Parts of a sentence- subject, predicate, modifier, and complement.

A sentence is a group of related words that express a complete thought.

A sentence must contain a subject and a predicate.

Subject: a subject is a noun or pronoun that is the main subject of the sentence.

Complete subject: includes the subject and any of its modifiers.

Simple subject: is just noun or pronoun that is the main subject of the sentence.

Ask who or what before the verb to find the subject.

Fragment: is a group of words that form a part sentence because it is missing a subject or predicate.

Predicate: a predicate is a word or group of words that is a verb or verb phrase.

Complete predicate: a group of words that includes the predicate, its complement, and any modifiers.

Simple predicate: is the main verb or verb phrase.

Complement: the word or word group that completes the predicate

Complements are DO-direct object, IO-indirect object, PA- predicate adjective and PN-predicate nominative.            PA and PN always follow a linking verb

A modifier is a word that describes the subject, predicate, or complement. It will be adverb or adjective.
