Subject And Predicate

When we make a sentence we name some person or thing and say something about the person or thing. In other words, we must have a subject to speak about and we must say or predicate some thing about that subject. Hence every sentence has two parts--
1)   The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about. This is called the SUBJECT of the sentence.
2)   The part which tells something about the subject, is called PREDICATE of the sentence.
      The subject of a sentence usually comes first, but occasionally it is put after the predicate; as, Here comes the bus.
In Imperative Sentences the Subject is left out; as, Sit down (here the Subject 'you' is understood).
