Sentence Structure beginner easy
Every sentence splits into subject and predicate.
Sentence Structure — How sentences are built and transformed.
1. Subject: who or what the sentence is about (usually a noun/pronoun). 2. Predicate: what is said about the subject (verb + rest). 3. Find the subject by asking "who/what + verb?". 4. The subject usually comes first, but in questions it follows the auxiliary: "Are you ready?"
"The birds | are singing." Here "the birds" is the subject and "are singing" is the predicate. The predicate always contains the finite verb.
