About Subject And Predicate

English is an international language. English is used all over the world for communication. In Bangladesh English is used as a second language. But the people of our country cannot use this language properly. By our post we try to solve this problem. In our last English post we discussed about the simple, complex and compound sentence. To move that post please, click here. Today we will discuss about the parts of a sentence.

PARTS OF A SENTENCE: SUBJECT AND PREDICATE

Everything from a building to a brick has parts. And a sentence is no exception. Any complete sentence has two main parts, called the subject and the predicate. What is the subject: The Subject is usually comes before the predicate. The subject which is used in a sentence is simply what or whom the sentence is about. For example, consider some sentences like as: Sumon collects Birds. This sentence is about a person with an unusual hobby—Sumon. Sumon is therefore the subject of the sentence. Here is another example is: Rahim’s wife constrictor seems restless this morning.

What we know about this sentence? It's about Rahim’s wife constrictor. The wife constrictor is therefore the subject of the sentence. Sometimes some sentences that give commands might look as if they don’t contain any subject. This rule can be cleared by an example like as: Sit down, please. In this example, there is no visible subject. But don't be fooled: the subject in such a sentence which is the pronoun you. Normally, the subject in a command is left out, or invisible. If we do express the subject you in a command, it's most often a sign of strong irritation which is expressed in a sentence that is given below: You see that fish hook out of my jar right now!

What is the predicate? Now let’s know about predicate. The main part of the predicate is the verb. The predicate usually comes after the subject. The predicate is the part of the sentence that makes a statement about the subject. Once you find the subject, you can easily find the predicate. Just ask yourself what the sentence is telling you about the subject. The predicate might tell you what the subject did (or does, or will do). Let's take another look at our first example: Sumon collects bird. In this sentence, as you know, the subject is Sumon. The predicate collects Bird tells you what Sumon does. The verb here is the action verb collects.

We can know more about predicate by another example. The predicate might also give a description of the subject, as in our second example: Rahim’s wife constrictor seems restless this morning. Here, seems restless this morning gives a description of the subject Rahim’s wife constrictor. The verb is the linking verb seems which merely links the description of the subject, without expressing any action. The predicates we have seen have all been two or more words long. But sometimes, the predicate is simply a verb by itself like this example: Robi sneezed. In this example, Robi is the subject, and the verb which is sneezed, is the predicate. 

Let’s discuss about subject and predicate with some example. Our first example is: Emon and Priya were going to the Islampur. Here “Emon and Priya” is the subject and “were going to the Islampur” is the predicate. The other example is MD. Jahangir is the head of the ECE department. In this Sentence “MD. Jahangir” is the subject and “is the head of the ECE department” is the predicate. We also analysis the other subject. “UITS is one of the best universities in Bangladesh” and “The police officer arrested the Burglar”. These two sentences “UITS” and “The police officer” are the subject and the two predicates are “is one of the best universities in Bangladesh” and “arrested the Burglar”.

One important question is “Does the subject always come before the predicate?” No, the subject isn't always first. There are three situations in which the subject appears after the verb instead of before it. In most questions: Are you ready? (The subject you appear after the verb are.) Did I forget to feed my iguana again? (The subject I is placed after the first half of the verb did forget.) In many sentences beginning with here or there: Here comes the jury. (The subject jury appears after the verb comes.) There were fifteen cats and an eviction notice on Janet's front porch. (The subject fifteen cats and an eviction notice are placed after the verb was.)

We also discuss the other sentence. Some sentences are beginning with one or more prepositional phrases like as: Across the clearing and through the stream ran the frightened deer. (The subject deer come after the verb ran.) Being able to recognize subjects and predicates is a useful skill, because they are the building blocks of complete sentences. Here we also provide you some exercise for you. This exercise helps to get a proper solution about subject and predicate.

3. You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because he or she always has friends visiting who are other languages. Write a paragraph about your Mother Language which is the international mother language. Explain your reasons. You should write at least 80 to words. You do NOT need to write your own address or details. Begin your paragraph as follows:

International Mother language Day

Foreign language can shape only the shadow of our thoughts, whereas mother language presents the replica of our mind. Hence, no language, however rich it is, can be equal to one’s mother language. Bangla is the mother language of Bangladesh. Through the declaration of International Mother Language Day, UNESCO has glorified the mother tongue of every nation. This declaration has assumed an added dimension to us, because it is our ‘Ekushey’ February which has been selected to observe as the International Mother Language Day. At this our language martyrs of the 21st February 1952 have got global recognition. The worldwide recognition of that very day has no doubt upheld the prestige of our country in Bangladesh to a great extent.

Environmental Pollution

Environmental pollution is somewhat technical term of this age of science and technology. It implies the poisoning of the surroundings of the human habitats. This environment includes air and atmosphere, water, land, sound, minerals etc. around human life. Environmental pollution is a direct offshoot (result) of the industrialized modern life. We are now forced to inhale air poisoned by smokes and fumes from vehicles, to drink water polluted by poisonous wastes from industries and factories. It is causing an imbalance in the very model of our living. The environmental pollution must be remedied at all costs. Otherwise mankind will perish. It is time to find out the way to control environmental pollution.

Our modern life is plagued with various forms of pollution. Like all other pollutants such as waste, smoke and unclear water, noise in the same way is also irritant and harmful for a peaceful life. Noisy atmosphere is subversive of quiet thinking, creative work and microphones, the hydraulic horns of vehicles and the sound produced from factories are the main causes of sound pollution. The student, the children and the sick, terribly suffer from this pollution. To live in peace, noise pollution must be checked. The government should take steps to keep sound tolerable limits.

The earth, the sweetest home for mankind, is undergoing a rapid change because of the greenhouse effect. This global warming is caused by the accumulation of certain gases like Carbon dioxide, CFC, Methane, and Nitrite oxide around the world. The presence of these gases to a large degree is making the Ozone layer of the earth’s atmosphere thinner day by day. At this, the ultraviolet ray of the sun can easily penetrate the atmosphere of the earth. It is predicted that midway through the next century, the temperature of the earth may rise as much as 4º c. This will reduce our ability to grow food and severely damage wildlife, raise sea-levels and thereby submerge the coastal areas.

“The answer is below the word limit and there is some repetition of the task rubric. (Length is a common problem with General Training scripts). Answers that are short lose marks because there is insufficient material in the answer for the examiner to give credit for accuracy and coherence. Despite these problems, the introduction to the letter is appropriate and the purpose of the writer is clear. The points are not always linked together well and punctuation is sometimes faulty. The sentences are kept quite simple and mistakes occur as soon as more complex structures are attempted.”

In this post we briefly discuss about the parts of a sentence. The parts of a sentence contain a subject and predicate which is very important to make a sentence in English. Without knowing the parts of a sentence one cannot make a proper sentence in English. That’s why in this post we briefly discuss about it. By our post one can get a proper idea about the parts of a sentence and also English. In our next post we also briefly discuss about parts of speech which is also very important to make a sentence.

About SIMPLE, COMPLEX AND COMPOUND SENTENCES

In our “Life Solution” site we try to give you the complete Solution about Bangladeshi people’s Life related problems. From various problems, learning English according with Grammar is one of the most talked problems. That’s why we are talking here About Solution of English Grammar problems. As English is a major Subject of curriculum in Bangladesh, all students must need to learn English Grammar to cut a good result and for this reason the site "Life Solution" come ahead to give you the proper guideline and make you as an efficient citizen of Bangladesh. In our previous post we give you a guide line About “Phrase, Clause and Sentence” which is a part of parcel of English Grammar. Now we are going to describe About Simple, Compound, and Complex are the three types of sentences. A common weakness in writing English is the lack of varied sentences and Grammars. Becoming aware of three general types of sentences--simple, Compound, and Complex--can help you vary the sentences in your writing English. The most effective writing uses a variety of the sentence types explained below.

Sentences: Simple, Compound, and Complex

1. Simple Sentences: A simple sentences always have the most basic objectives that make them a Sentence and those are: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought. Examples of simple Sentences are: 1) Hasan waited for the bus, here "Hasan" = Subject, "waited" = verb. 2) The bus was late here "The bus" = Subject, "was" = verb. 3) Meena and Sajal took the bus, here "Meena and Sajal" = Compound Subject, "took" = verb. 4) I looked for Meena and Sajal at the bus station, in here "I" = Subject, "looked" = verb. 5) Meena and Sajal arrived at the train station before noon and left on the train before I arrived similarly "Meena and Sajal" = Compound Subject, "arrived" and "left" = Compound verb.

The utilization of Substance Topics, Substance verbs, prepositional key phrases (such because "at the actual coach station"), along with other components assist extend easy phrases, however easy phrases frequently tend to be brief. Using a lot of easy phrases could make composing "choppy" and may avoid the composing through moving efficiently. An easy phrase may also be known as a completely independent terms. This is called "independent" simply because, whilst it may be a part of the Substance or even complicated phrase, additionally, it may uphold by itself like a total phrase.

2. Compound Sentence: A Compound sentence is that kind of sentence that refers to a Sentence made up of two independent clauses or complete sentences which are connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are these kinds of facts that are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS" and they are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so etc. In here we will give you some examples of Compound sentences: 1) Jhon waited for the bus, but the bus was late. 2) I looked for Jolly and Shathi at the train station, but they arrived at the train station before noon and left on the train before I arrived there. 3) Mohin and Luchi arrived at the train station before noon, and they left on the train before I arrived there. 4) Jamal and Singdha left on the train before I arrived, so I could not get them at the train station.

If a person depends seriously upon Substance phrases within a composition, you should look at studying a number of them in to complicated phrases. Matching conjunctions are helpful allowing you to connect phrases; however Substance phrases frequently tend to be over-used. Whilst matching conjunctions may show some form of romantic relationship between your 2 impartial clauses within the phrase, these people occasionally don't show high of the romantic relationship. The term "and, inch for instance, just provides 1 impartial terms to a different, without having showing the way the 2 areas of the phrase tend to be realistically associated. A lot of Substance phrases which make use of "and" may deteriorate composing. Better and much more particular associations could be set up by using complicated phrases.

3. Complex Sentence: Complex sentences are made up of an independent clause. And one or more dependent clauses connected to them. A dependent clause work as similar to an independent clause in that case, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the objectives that would make it a complete sentence. Now we will give you some examples of complex sentences like: 1) because of July and Sham arrived at the train station before noon. 2) While Shagar waited at the airport for you. 3) After Hasan and Anik left on the Train. All these dependent clauses cannot stand alone as a Sentence, but those sentences can be added to an independent clause to make a complete Complex Sentence. Dependent clauses are connected with subordinating conjunctions. Here we will give you some examples of the most common subordinating conjunctions like- although, after, whenever, before, even, because, if, since, though, unless, while, until, whereas, though, as, wherever, when etc.

A complicated phrase ties a completely independent terms along with a number of reliant clauses. The actual reliant clauses may proceed very first within the phrase, then the actual impartial terms. Prior to all of us such as to provide you with the Suggestion once the reliant terms arrives very first, the comma ought to be accustomed to individual both clauses Like as 1) Because of Harry and Jhon arrived at the Train station before noon, he did not see them at the station. 2) While Sumon waited at the bus station, Jahangir realized that the bus was late. 3) After Sumon & Jonathon left on the Train, Maya and Sharmin realized that Enam was waiting at the bus station.

Conversely, the actual impartial clauses may proceed very first within the phrase, then the actual reliant terms and also the Suggestion that after the actual impartial terms arrives very first, the comma shouldn't be accustomed to individual both clauses. Examples will be like as 1) I did not see those two people at the station because Jhon and Sara arrived at the train station before noon. 2) John and Mhosin understood that the bus was late while they waited at the bus station. 3) Mou and Sharmin understood that John and Haidr were waiting at the station after they left on the bus.

Complex Sentences are always more useful than Compound sentences. Because of a Complex sentence means clearer and more appointed relationships between the main parts of the sentence. The word "before," for example, tells the listeners or the readers that one thing happen before another. A word such as "although" makes a more Complex relationship than a word such as "and" sustain.

The term periodic sentence is used to refer to a Complex sentence. And it is beginning with a dependent clause and this kind of sentence ending with an independent clause, as in "While Samantha and Sharmin waited at the bus station, John and Pulak realized that the bus was late." But Periodic sentences can be especially effective and the reason will be the completed thought happens at the end of the sentence. As a result the first part of the sentence can make up to the meaning that comes at the end of the sentence.

Should you begin a sentence with "and" or "but" (or one of the other coordinating conjunctions)? The short answer is "no." You should avoid beginning a sentence with "and," "or," "but," or the other coordinating conjunctions. These words generally are used to join together parts of a sentence, not to begin a new sentence. However, such sentences can be used effectively. Because sentences beginning with these words stand out, they are sometimes used for emphasis. If you use sentences beginning with one of the coordinating conjunctions, you should use these sentences sparingly and carefully.

Should you use a sentence which starts with "because"? In that case there is nothing wrong with starting a sentence with "because”. "Perhaps some teachers are teaching the students not to start a sentence with "because" to avoid sentence fraction (if you see some example that it will be cleared for you, something like "Because Hasan and Saimon reached at the train station before noon" is a sentence fraction), but it is perfectly acceptable to start a sentence with "because" as long as the sentence is complete (as like as "Because Murari and Ponam reached at the train station before noon, as a result Sumon did not see them at the train station.").
