             NOTES
             A sentence has two parts: subject and predicate.

                    Nina           cooked dinner for 45 guests.

                    Shanti         danced with her friends.

                    Isika          settled the matter skillfully.

             The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about is
             called the subject of the sentence. Subjects may include more than one
             part of speech.

                       All the guests
                       Devika                    SUBJECTS

                       Our well-wishers


             The part which tells something about the subject is called the predicate
             of the sentence. Predicate may include more than one part of speech.

                                      took the exam.

                PREDICATES            bought a bag.

                                      prayed to God.
