What is true of all predicates?

English
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago
4 0

A lot of things can be said about the predicate: that it contains the complements of the subject, that it is the set of words to add sense to the subject, that it adds meaning to the whole sentence, that it is essential for a sentence to have a meaning, that it contains the action done in the sentence, etc. but what it is always true of all predicates is that there is no meaning in a sentence without a predicate.

Analize this simple sentence:

My mother <u>works in a bank.</u>

subject + <u>predicate</u>

if we separate the subject and the predicate and state them alone, which one conveys more meaning and therefore is more important?

if we say "my mother." we say practically nothing and we cannot imagine what could be next in meaning.

but if we say "<u>works in a bank"</u> we can guess who the subject is and then guess the whole meaning of the sentence.

Three of the eight steps in the audience-centered model of presentational speaking are?
Ilya [14]

Three of the eight steps in the audience-centered model of presentation speaking are select and narrow topic, identify purpose and develop central idea.

A audience-centered presentation is not a one-way communication. Rather, audience-centered presenters view their audience as a group of individuals, each with their own perceptions and needs. The audience-centered presenter's goal is not to present as much information as possible about their topic.

Instead, the audience-centered presenter's goal is to engage and connect with the audience in two-way communication, trying to make a difference. Audience-centered speeches are therefore more effective than speaker and content-centered presentations.
