1. PARTS OF A SENTENCE

2. The subject of an English sentence is the person or thing that performs the action, or that the sentence makes a statement about. For example: Mary screams. The cat is scared.

3. The predicate is the statement that is made about the subject. It contains at least one verb and can have more words that give more information about the subject. Example: Fred is jumping happily through his house.

4. In English, there are two kinds of verbs: transitive and intransitive. Those names might sound confusing, but it's really very simple. Transitive verbs take objects. This means that the action of the verbaffects something else. The person or thing that the verb affects in some way is an object. For example: Gerald baked some cookies.transitive and intransitive

5. Now, let's imagine that Gerald had someone special in mind when he baked those cookies. Gerald baked his friends some cookies. His friends were indirectly affected by his baking because he gave them the cookies. So, his friends are the indirect object of the verb "baked.“ SUBJECT + VERB+INDIRECT OBJECT+DIRECT OBJECT
