I. The Subject
The Structure of the Simple Sentence All words in a sentence perform definite syntactic functions. Words performing all other functions in the sentence depend A sentence which has both the subject and the predicate is Sentences which consist of only the subject or only the predi- 1) sentences with a verb in the Imperative mood (e.g. Keep 2) some exclamatory sentences (e.g. What a nice view! How 3) questions expressing suggestion (e.g. Why not give him a 4) sentences expressing confirmation or negation (e.g. Yes. No.) 5) some formulas of courtesy (e.g. Hello! Good-bye! See you to Sentences built up of only the subject and the predicate are Sentences in which, besides the principal parts, there are For practical purposes of learning English, it is necessary and The subject is a word or a group of words which names the e.g. The stranger came early in February. The young often complain that the elders do not understand them. Two of the letters were from my uncle. The Dutch are famous for their tulips. The extraordinary always excites curiosity.

To this kind also belong predicates expressed by phraseological e.g. They are having breakfast now. 2) compound nominal predicates — they consist of a link-verb The link-verb expresses all the verbal characteristics of the e.g. He was a mining engineer by profession. 3) compound verbal predicates — they consist of a finite form As the first component of a compound verbal predicate we find: a) modal verbs (can, may, must, be to, have to, shall, should, e.g. You oughtn't to go back on your word. b) verbs of seeming (to seem, to appear), e.g. He seemed to have heard the news. For a moment she appeared to be hesitating. c) verbs of unexpected occurrence (to happen, to turn out, to e.g. They happened to meet at the bus-stop. He turned out to have no feelings for his nephew. d) some verbs of position and motion (to stand, to sit, to lie, e.g. He sat staring at the letter.
