What else can I help you with?
Does a phrase need to have a subject and a predicate?
A phrase does not necessarily need to have both a subject and a predicate; it is a group of words that may not express a complete thought. For example, noun phrases ("the tall tree") or prepositional phrases ("in the park") lack a subject-predicate structure. In contrast, a clause, which can be independent or dependent, does contain both a subject and a predicate.
Writing in complete sentence?
A complete sentence is comprised of a subject and a predicate. The subject is a noun or noun phrase, and the predicate essentially tells what the subject does.
Is a group of words containing either a subject or a predicate but not both?
Yes, a group of words that contains either a subject or a predicate but not both is known as a phrase. Phrases do not express a complete thought, unlike clauses, which contain both a subject and a predicate. For example, "the quick brown fox" is a noun phrase (subject), while "jumps over the lazy dog" is a verb phrase (predicate).
Is the phrase Everyone had fun a complete sentence?
Yes- there is a subject (Everyone) and a predicate (had fun).
What is predicate (subject you understood)?
The predicate is everything that is not the subject. The simple predicate is a verb or verb phrase. eg The man next door is a doctor complete subject = The man next door, complete predicate = is a doctor. simple subject = man, simple predicate = is The woman is waiting for her husband. complete subject = The woman, complete predicate = is waiting for her husband. simple subject = woman, simple predicate = is waiting
A group of words that has a subject and a predicate but does not contain the complete sentence?
This is known as a sentence fragment. It lacks either a subject, a predicate, or does not express a complete thought on its own. Sentence fragments can occur due to incomplete construction or lack of context.
What is subject understood you?
The predicate is everything that is not the subject. The simple predicate is a verb or verb phrase. eg The man next door is a doctor complete subject = The man next door, complete predicate = is a doctor. simple subject = man, simple predicate = is The woman is waiting for her husband. complete subject = The woman, complete predicate = is waiting for her husband. simple subject = woman, simple predicate = is waiting
What are examples of simple subject(with fragment) and simple predicate?
A simple subject is the main noun or pronoun in a sentence, while a simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase that tells something about the subject. For example, in the fragment "The cat," "the cat" is the simple subject. In the predicate "is sleeping," "is sleeping" is the simple predicate. Together, they form a complete thought, such as "The cat is sleeping."
What do clauses and phrases have in common?
Clauses and phrases are both groups of words that function as units within a sentence. A clause contains a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought, while a phrase does not contain a subject-verb relationship and does not express a complete thought.
Determine if the following phrase is a complete sentence or a fragment. The bark on the trees is smooth.?
The phrase "The bark on the trees is smooth" is a complete sentence. It contains a subject ("the bark on the trees") and a predicate ("is smooth"), expressing a complete thought. Therefore, it meets the requirements of a complete sentence.
What is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate and is used as part of a sentence?
A phrase is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate but does not convey a complete thought on its own. It is used as part of a sentence to provide additional information, describe something, or add detail.
What group of words contains either a subject or a predicate but not both?
A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate but not both. A subject is present in a noun phrase, while a predicate is found in a verb phrase. An example of a phrase with a subject but no predicate is "the big tree."
