SUBJECT - OBJECT - PREDICATE AND PRONOUNS

 

SUBJECT - OBJECT - PREDICATE AND PRONOUNS

Every complete sentence has two parts: Subject and Predicate

Subject tells us what or who the sentence is about.

Predicate tells us what the subject does.

Object receives the action instead of performing the action and it functions as noun or pronoun.

Examples:

Sam ate a cream cake.

(Here, the sentence is about Sam. So, Sam is the subject.

What Sam did? Sam ate a cream cake. So, ate a cream cake is a predicate.

What Sam ate? It’s a cake. So, cake is an object.)

Pronouns:

Pronoun is a word that replaces a noun in the sentence and are used to avoid repeating nouns.

Pronouns can do everything that the nouns can do.

They can be subject or object.

Subject Vs Object Vs Predicate

Various pronouns:

I, Me

You, Yours

He, She, Him, Her, It

We

You

They

Examples:

I love playing cricket with you.

(Here, ‘I’ and ‘you’ are pronouns.)

We enjoy hearing her song.

(Here, ‘We’ and ‘her’ are pronouns.)
