Examples Help - The Sentence - Subject and Predicate A sentence is a combination of words which are arranged to convey a determinate sense or meaning. In other words, to express a complete thought or idea. No matter how short, A sentence must contain at least one finite verb and a subject or agent to direct the action of the verb. Examples: "Birds fly;" "Fish swim;" "Men walk;" are all sentences. A sentence always contains two parts, something spoken about and something said about it. - The word or words indicating what is spoken about form what is called the subject

- In the above sentence examples the words "given", "birds", "fish" and "men" are the subjects
- In the above sentence examples the words "fly", "swim" and "walk" are the predicates
