What is a Sentence?

A sentence is a group of words arranged in a specific order to make a complete thought.

A sentence includes three main parts –

Subject - (noun or doer of the action)

Predicate – (verb or action work)

Object – (a person or thing that is affected by the action.

Parts of a sentence.

Subject:

  • The subject is the person or a thing who is the doer of the action.
  • It represents what or whom the sentence describes. It mainly contains a noun or a pronoun.

Common Errors

The subject is widely used in English, so a number of errors can arise about how to correctly use it. When using two subjects in the same sentence, do not use the combination of a pronoun and a common noun.

Avoid using the pronoun along with a proper noun as a double subject in the same sentence.

Examples:

  1. My brother and his friend speak Spanish.
  2. My brother and he speaks Spanish.
