MAKING SENSE OF SENTENCES
The grass grows. This is an example of the basic unit of thought
in the English language: the sentence. Sentences must have two
key parts—a subject and a predicate—and express a complete
thought. The subject (grass) names what the sentence is talking
about. The predicate is a verb or verb phrase (grows) that tells us
something about the subject. The subject of a sentence may be
singular, meaning that there is only one subject. Subjects may
also be compound, meaning they have more than one subject:
The grass and the flowers grow.
The predicate may also be singular or compound. For exam-
ple, here the predicate is singular: I ate a bowl of spaghetti. In the
following example, the predicate is a compound: I ate a bowl of
spaghetti and drank two glasses of milk.
