Sentences Must Have Subjects and Predicates
Every sentence has a subject and a predicate in that order, unless you are Yoda, from Star Wars, who speaks sentences backwards.
The predicate will include a verb, usually an action verb, but sometimes a state-of-being verb.
“I walked.” is a sentence.
The subject is the pronoun ‘I’.
‘Walked’ is the predicate or action verb that follows.
Sometimes a subject can be implied.
"Wait!" may not look like it has a subject, but it does.
The subject ‘You’ is implied or understood and doesn’t need to be said.
'Wait' is the action verb and is the predicate which completes the sentence.
Check the sentence, when you can't find a subject, by putting the pronoun 'You' in front of the verb. If the sentence makes sense, you have an implied subject.
