                   Subject and Predicate and object etc........

  Each and every sentence has two part---------Subject and predicate. We have been taught this in our childhood. A subject does the task or work. So it is the doer. It is the master of the verb. Thus we say ...it is the subject to the verb....'.Let us take some examples.

1. Sukanya sings a song. In this sentence 'Sukanya' is the subject to the verb 'sings'.
2. Apratim loves travelling. Here 'Apratim' is the subjet to the verb 'loves'.
3 The government of India has decided to lower the age of consent of girls. In this sentence the subject to the verb 'has decided' is not a single word subject. 'The government of India' - this entire phrase is the subject. So we may come to the conclusion that a subject may be of one word/ a phrase or a clause.
The verb portion/ part of the sentence is called the PREDICATE. The main component of the predicate is the VERB.
SUBJECT                                                                   PREDICATE
4. Birds                                                                        fly.
5.Birds                                                                         fly in the blue blue sky.
6. The Headmaster of the school                                 is a very wise person.

OBJECT is a different thing. It has different meanings. We will discuss it in the next lesson.
