Both parts (Subject and Predicate) are
usually necessary for the meaning of a
group of words to be clear .

When a subject or predicate is missing , the


group of words in a sentence makes no
sense.
Look at the sentence:
At the bottom of the river lay his axe.

What is the subject? – his axe


But the subject is placed at the end.
In most of the sentences, the subject is usually placed
in the beginning of the sentence.

But this does not mean that any word in the


beginning of a sentence will be naming the subject.
Subject in an Imperative
Sentence.
In an imperative
sentence, what is the
subject ?
The subject is always you,
but it is not stated, it is
implied.
Subject in an Imperative Sentence.

Brush your teeth

This sentence actually means – ‘You’ should brush your


teeth.

But you is not stated…..it is implied.

In an imperative sentence , what is the subject ?


The subject is always ‘you’ , but it is not stated, it is implied.
Read the following sentences and underline the subject with
red colour and circle the predicate with blue colour:

1)Dad takes us to school every day.

2)News spreads fast in this small town.

3)My sister and I jog in this park every morning.

4)The furniture for our new house has been delivered.

5)Please tidy your room.


ACTIVITY: (ORAL)
Write three sentences in which the subject changes its place from first
part of the sentence to middle part and then to the latter part of the
sentence.

Eg. The birds soared high up in the sky.


High up in the sky, the birds soared.
High up in the sky, soared the birds.
The Boy who cried Wolf

In a village, lived a carefree boy with his father. The boy’s father told him

the predicate in blue for take the sheep to the fields. He wanted to run and play, not watch the
every sentence: boring sheep graze in the field. So, he decided to have some fun. He cried,
“Wolf! Wolf!” until the entire village came running with stones to chase
away the wolf before it could eat any of the sheep. When the villagers saw
that there was no wolf, they left muttering under their breath about how the
boy had wasted their time. The next day, the boy cried once more, “Wolf!
Wolf!” and, again, the villagers rushed there to chase the wolf away.
The boy laughed at the fright he had caused. This time, the villagers left
angrily. The third day, as the boy went up the small hill, he suddenly saw a
wolf attacking his sheep. He cried as hard as he could, “Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!”,
but not a single villager came to help him. The villagers thought that he
was trying to fool them again and did not come to rescue him or his sheep.
The little boy lost many sheep that day, all because of his foolishness.

Moral of the Story


It is difficult to trust people who lie, so it’s important to always be truthful.
