1.SUBJECT
2.PREDICATE
1.SUBJECT
The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about is called the subject of the sentence.
(वाक्य का वह खंड जो किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु के विषय में कहा जाए उसे Subject कहते हैं.)
Ex:

Here the underlined words “a little boy” is subject of the sentence.
2.PREDICATE:
The parts which tell something about a subject is called the predicate of the sentence.
(वाक्य का वह खंड जो Subject के विषय में कुछ बताएं, वह बतलाया गया तथ्य Predicate कहलाता है.)
Ex:

Here the underlined words runs fast Is the predicate of a sentence.
The predicate and its parts
(i) Verb (क्रिया)
A verb is a word that tells us what a person, animal or thing is doing. Verbs show action, so they are also called action words.
(ii) Object(कर्म)
The object is the person or thing which is affected by the action of the verb.
(iii) Complement(पूरक
It’s a word, clause, or phrase that’s needed to complete a given expression. For example, “This morning is a gift.” In this sentence, “This morning” is the subject, “is” is the linking verb, and “a gift” is the complement.
