Sentence
It is derived from a Latin word "Sententia" which means a thought or an opinion.
Definition:
Sentence is a complete unit of a language which has a subject, a predicate and whin
gives a complete sense or meaning.
Main Parts of a Sentence:
Sentence has two main parts.
Subject:
The person or thing we are talking about is called subject.
or: what the predicate talks about is called subject.
Ex:
Ali plays cricket.
Ali is a teacher.
Predicate:
A part of sentence talking about the subject is called predicate.
Ex:

Predicate is a verb, but sometimes more than verb.
Predicate = verb + object/complement
Ex:

She is beautiful.
We study.
Note
The important part of Predicate is the verb.
Ex:
She is beautiful.
We study hard.
She is a teacher.
She is fast.
Object:
A noun or pronoun representing the person or thing that something is done to is called Object.
Ex:
We built the house. (The house is Object)
Complement:
OA word or phrase that follows a verb and describes the subject of the verb. In 'John is cold and
John became chairman', 'cold' and 'chairman' are complements.
