that is whose meaning we can understand completely. We talk and write
in sentences.

 When we speak we use words, we use these words in set of groups.

When a group of words make sense, we call it a sentence.
 SUBJECT & PREDICATE

Explanation: The first part of each sentence is the person or thing we

are talking about. This is the Subject.
The second part is what we say about the Subject. This part is the
Predicate.
Read the following sentences:
Subject Predicate
1. Raj is a good boy.
2. Meera lives in a small house.
3. He bought a toy gun.
4. She speaks french.
5. Furniture is very old.
Explanation: To find the subject of a sentence we take the Verb and
ask the question “who?” or “what?” the rest of the sentence is
Predicate.
How to find the subject:
Subject Predicate Question
verb
1. Rohit came Who came?
2. She saw Me. Who saw?
3. Dogs bark What barks?
4. My head is Big. What is big?

 In other words we must have a subject to talk about and we must

say or predicate something about that subject.
