What is sentence
A sentence is a group of words which makes a complete sense.

A sentence has two main parts – the ‘subject’ and the ‘predicate’.
The subject must contain a Noun or a Pronoun (Noun phrase) and the predicate must contain a Verb.
एक वाक्य में मुख्य दो भाग होते हैं— उद्देश्य (subject) और विधेय (predicate) । उद्देश्य या तो संज्ञा होता है या सर्वनाम (संज्ञा पद) तथा विधेय में क्रिया होती है।
उद्देश्य (Subject)—
वाक्य का वह भाग जो उस व्यक्ति या वस्तु को इंगित करे जिसके सम्बन्ध में हम बात कर रहे हैं, वाक्य का उद्देश्य कहलाता है।
● विधेय (Predicate) –
वह अंश या भाग जो उद्देश्य के सम्बन्ध में जानकारी देता है, वाक्य का विधेय कहलाता है।
Examples:
| Subject ( उद्देश्य) | Predicate ( विधेय ) |

Subject (कर्ता) –
वाक्य में निहित भाव या कर्म को सम्पादित करने वाला।
