There are two types of subjects and predicates: complete and simple. A complete subject includes all words that tell whom or what the sentence is about, while a complete predicate includes the verb and all words that tell what the subject is or does. The simple subject is the main word or words in the complete subject, usually a single noun. The simple predicate is the main verb or verb phrase in the complete predicate.Types of-sentence-structure

Adverb clauses are subordinate clauses that provide information about the main clause such as time, place, manner, cause, condition. They are introduced with subordinating conjunctions like when, where, because, if. Adverb clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and must be accompanied by an independent main clause. Punctuation rules depend on whether the adverb clause comes before or after the main clause.4.4 compound sentence by_subordination

Imperative sentences request or demand an action and are used to issue orders, commands, or requests. The subject is often omitted and understood to be "you".

The document discusses the subject and predicate in sentences. The subject is the person, place, thing or idea that the sentence is about, and is often the "doer" of the verb. The predicate contains the verb and says something about the subject. A sentence's subject can take different forms including nouns, pronouns, noun phrases, infinitive phrases, gerund phrases, and clauses. The subject usually comes before the predicate but there are some cases where it does not, such as in questions or sentences beginning with adverbs.The sentence[1] concept![The sentence[1] concept](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/thesentence1concept-110201222330-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

- 3. Simple sentences are independent clauses. They contain a subject and a predicate. Rule 1: Simple sentences can be very short, consisting of only one word (a noun) for the subject and one word (a verb) for the predicate. The noun is called the simple subject, and the verb is the simple predicate. John laughed. Rule 2: Simple sentences can be long, although they still consist of one subject (a noun and modifiers) and one predicate (a verb and other elements). The noun is called the simple subject, and the verb is the simple predicate. The tall, good-looking boy with the curly blond hair laughed uproariously at his best friend’s suggestion.
