\"waterTo make any kind of beverage, you need one essential element: water. You can choose mangoes, cherries or pineapple to add to the water, but the water is always essential.<\/p>\n

The same thing goes for tea, coffee or alcoholic beverages – water is always an essential element.<\/p>\n

In the same way, there are two parts of speech which are essential to making a sentence.<\/p>\n

Can you guess what they are?<\/p>\n

They are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The noun – which is the most important part of the subject.<\/li>\n
  2. The verb – which is the most important part of the predicate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Aside from rare exceptions, such as “yes” and “no,” and exclamatory expressions, can you try making a sentence without a noun and a verb?<\/p>\n

    Sometimes, the subject is understood, such as.<\/p>\n

    Go! (You go!”)<\/p>\n

    And sometimes, the verb is understand, such as:<\/p>\n

    I (I will go.)<\/p>\n

    But most of the time, a noun and verb are present in a sentence.<\/p>\n

    To recap:<\/p>\n

    The subject: what we talk about.<\/p>\n

    The verb: what we say about the subject.<\/p>\n

    The noun: the essential part of the subject.<\/p>\n

    The verb: the essential part of the predicate.<\/p>\n

    Can you create a “subject” without using a noun? No!<\/p>\n

    Can you create a predicate without using a verb? No!<\/p>\n

    Subject and predicate are trademarks of a sentence.<\/p>\n

    The noun is essential to every subject, and the verb is essential to every predicate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
