Key Concepts:
Subject (विषय) and Predicate (क्रिया) are the two main parts of a sentence. The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject does or what happens to the subject.
Usage Examples:
1. The dog barks.
(कुत्ता भौंकता है।)
- Here, "The dog" is the subject, and "barks" is the predicate.
2. She loves to read.
(वह पढ़ना पसंद करती है।)
- In this sentence, "She" is the subject, and "loves to read" is the predicate.
3. The sun shines brightly.
(सूरज चमकता है।)
- "The sun" is the subject, and "shines brightly" is the predicate.
Key Mistakes:
1. Confusing the subject with the predicate: Sometimes, learners mix up the subject and predicate. Remember, the subject is who or what the sentence is about, while the predicate describes the action or state of the subject.
2. Missing the subject: In some sentences, learners forget to include the subject. For example, saying "is running" is incorrect without a subject like "The cat is running."
3. Using a fragment: A complete sentence needs both a subject and a predicate. A fragment like "The teacher" is not a complete thought. Always ensure both parts are present for clarity.
