COMPONENTS OF A SENTENCE

Definition A sentence is a grammatical unit comprising a group of words that separates from other grammatical construction. Usually consists of 1 subject with its predicate Usually contains a finite verb or verb phrase

Definition A clause is a group of words containing a subject and predicate A clause forms part of a compound or complex sentence

Definition A phrase is two or more words in sequence intended to have meaning It has no subject and verb

Definition Complements of a sentence is a group of words that complete the sentence It could be noun clause, noun phrase, modifier of time or place

Definition Predicate is part of a sentence and has the main verb It tells what the subject did, has done, is doing or describes the subject

Common pattern of a sentence Subject + Predicate verb + complement object + modifier

Examples Animal need food everyday Subject Predicate Complement

Normalina, one of the lecturer in this university, subject is an indonesian chemist predicate Verb object

Subject of a sentence can be singular or plural Verb of the sentence must be in agreement with the subject. For example: She eats banana everyday They eat banana everyday

Pseudo subject is subject which is not a real noun. For example: It is a good idea to go Since “It” represents “to go”, therefore we can say: To go is a good idea

Another example for pseudo S There are many things to do Since “there” represents “many things”, therefore the verb used must be the verb for plural subject (“are”)

Subject and Object Can be: Noun :My decision is to refuse the plan Infinitive: To refuse the plan is my choice It is my choice to refuse the plan Gerund: Refusing the plan is my choice I love hiking
